a day at the park...

Jack and I spent a couple hours at the park today with some friends. It was such a gorgeous day! It didn't feel like November AT ALL. But even though the warm weather was misleading, the millions of leaves on the ground reminded us that it is definitely fall. And speaking of leaves, Jack was enthralled by them! I spent a good portion of our time trying to make sure he didn't choke on all the leaves he was shoving in his mouth. Seriously, he tried to eat at least a dozen of them. He would pick one up, study it in his hand for a while, pop it in his mouth, make a funny face, and then mom would come fish it out. (But to no avail as the process would then start all over again.)

Something else...he fell in love with the slide. I've gone down slides before with him but there was this little tiny slide at the park today that was just his size so I thought we'd try it out. I was totally shocked to see how into it he was! He would sit at the top of the slide and then just get this huge smile on his face. Then he'd grab both sides of it and push off! Not even kidding! He would seriously just launch himself down the slide giggling all the way.  I had a video clip of it but for some reason I couldn't upload it...I'll keep trying.

Anyway, all in all it was a great afternoon!
