Family Outings
- by Brittany
A couple weeks ago (July 11, 13) we had some family time. That Saturday we took Jameson to feed the ducks now that it’s not so cold. There weren’t that many at the pond. Actually, all the geese were gone, and only ducks were there which was nice. We even saw a few fish jump. He kept getting so close, I was nervous he was going to fall in. He even threw a whole roll to one duck. I guess J-mo thought that duck was hungrier than the rest.
After the bread was gone, we headed out for a camping trip.
Ok, not really. We headed over to Scheels to explore. Jameson loved the fish tanks, and all the balls everywhere; ex. soccer balls, baseballs, footballs, whiffle balls… you get the idea. He was all over it. We played for a while in the store, bought a frisbee, and then explored the new outlets. I could spend lots of money over there, and they have fountains the kids can play in. Good thing it’s on the other side of town.
We’ve been working on “please” and “thank you” with Jameson. He will say please if he really wants something, but sometimes he needs to be reminded. He also calls anything sweet a “cook cook” or a cookie. In return, this is what we get…
Monday night we went to the park to test out the new frisbee. We also took J-mo’s soccer ball. He had a blast playing with his dad at the park. He’s pretty coordinated for a 19 month old. At least I think so, maybe I’m biased. We may have to put him in soccer when he’s old enough.
Then I lost them in the maze. I thought this was a neat idea when they put it in, but now that the plants are taller than my kid, I’ve changed my mind. He will follow some of the bigger kids in here on park day, and then I can’t see him. Not so good.
