Swingin'

Caitie is obsessed with swinging these days. I took her to the nearby park yesterday. We went at what I think was the hottest part of the day; it had to be, I like to have died on the walk to and from the park. Yes, my dear friends, we walked to the park... not drove... walked there. Well, I did, Caitie was in the stroller. We were at the park for almost two hours, most of that time was spent on the swings. She does rotate from swing to swing at least. She goes from the toddler swings to the big kid swings; there are four swings in all. When other kids want to use the swings, Caitie yells out that it's either "mama's swing" or her swing. I find it cute, but not everyone thinks the same. She did climb a bit and go down the slide with me a couple of times as well. Then it was time to go. She wasn't happy about that... not.at.all. Even though we were both melting, and it was lunchtime, she wanted to stay. But I did not relent, I did not give in, nosiree, bob, I did not. I knew we would be hitting the local Dairy Queen for some blizzards, and that's what kept me going. ha Have I mentioned how I've gained weight? Good golly, miss molly, have I put on some pounds... but that's a story for another day... like way, way in the future... waaaaayyyy on down the line there...
