One of the best parts of having a kid is that you basically get to relive childhood (to some extent). I love adventuring out of the house with Jace on these hot summer days, and I have to admit, there is a selfish component involved. Taking him to the park or to story-time at the library brings back happy memories of my own summers growing up, and it makes it that much better experiencing it all again with my own little guy.
Yesterday, we ventured to a new park, complete with a sandpit and a very fancy splash-pad. And today, as luck would have it, we showed up at the library just in time for a magic show. Afterwards, we met Colt at home and had dinner outside on the patio. It was still pretty hot out, so we put Jace in a swim diaper, turned on the hose, and placed it on the top of his little plastic slide to make a homemade water slide. He loved the water, even though it was ice cold, and we giggled watching him jet down that slide at warp speed. Then we put him in the tubby, got him into his jim-jams, turned on Cars, and relaxed until bedtime. He's currently sound-asleep (fingers crossed it stays that way for the night). I'm loving these fun summer days!
