The Hood

Our new neighborhood is very different than the one we were previously living in. We aren't so close to the hustle and bustle and have a much nicer place to take walks. (no fast food joints or gas stations) It is great!! We live right down the hill from a really nice park. The walk there is rather hilly but it's a good workout for the hips and thighs (especially pushing the stroller). Today Sophia and I took a walk up the hill and spent some time at the park. I tend to be little paranoid at the park since Sophia isn't really walking so usually we just spend some time on the swings and call it a day. Today, however, we did it all!! I even went down the twisty slide with Sophia. She absolutely loved it and pulled me (walking and holding onto my hand) around the playground for quite some time. When I had finally had enough of the slide myself, I took Sophia to the little slide and just let her go. Boy did she go! She climbed up the slide and then slid down one her tummy over and over and over. She had a blast, I had a blast and then we came home and took a nap. It was great! (the park was great too)
