Hello everyone, if you have been following along with some of my posts you may recall a post I did a little while back about my daughter's first visit to the park. It may not sound like such a big deal, but at the time she had just turned 1 years old and hadn't even really been outside all that much, let alone a visit all the way to the park.
Well that day did not go well for her as she basically spent the entire time at the park screaming her cute little head off. Specifically when she got near the slide... It appears she was not quite ready for the slide... or really any of the large toys the park had to offer.
After a couple months we decided it was time to give her another shot...
This would be her second visit to the park and it would start out much better than the first one. As we approached the park she started kicking her legs and giggling with excitement as she saw all the toys and the other little kids running around. A much different reaction than her first time there...
Then came the slide...
We weren't entirely sure how she would respond this time. As you can see in the image below, she was a little unsure of what to expect from this thing, but that was still a much better reaction than she had the first time, which was one of sheer terror!
However, after we convinced her big brother to go down the slide a couple times to show her it was OK and then convinced him to go down the slide with her, things got much better... In fact, if you look really close you can almost see a hint of joy on that little baby's face!
Maybe all she needed was a role model and some company after all? :)
Thanks for reading and live well my friends!
