That morning he played in the basement for a bit while I was working upstairs. I heard him coming up and went to the stairs to find him walking up while holding the rail! Recently he's been great about holding my hand, or my hand and the rail, but this is the first I saw him do it alone. He also went down by just holding the rail, it is the new norm.
It was a beautiful day so after baby brother's nap we headed to the park. I brought along a picnic and we stayed out until naptime. I asked the birthday boy to stand by his brother and smile. I meant for him to smile at me but I suppose this worked too.
Baby brother had some firsts; it was his first time in the stroller sans car seat and his first time in the swing. He loved it!
Silly birthday boy.
It was our first trip to the park of the season and after a couple times down the slide with me he wanted to do it himself, something he hadn't wanted to do before winter. He went down about a million times, and sent his train engine down about as many. After a while I asked if he wanted to try the other slide too and he did ... all by himself.
Big brother pushed the stroller all the way home.
I'm really excited it's springtime and we'll get to go outside more, and I know both my boys will love it too!
After dinner that night we gave him one of his gifts and had ice cream. We had to save some things for his party on Saturday ;)
He's really growing up and is a wonderful little boy, I love him!
