Protecting her cookie

C and I went to the "park" nearest to our house yesterday.  There is a great park in the Palisades.  This ain't it.  This is some remaindered plastic playhouses set in a wood chip corral.  And there are some swings.  It isn't pretty, but it is close, so we went yesterday to get out of the house after her afternoon nap.

She gets a snack after her nap.  Yesterday it was a nibbly finger (some healthy granola bar cookie finger thing).  As you will see, she will fall, climb, slide and run all while holding onto her cookie.

She offered the dinosaur her cookie.

Then after a few trips down the slide, she attempted to go up the slide herself.

She is checking to make sure it is still safe.

She is mastering climbing onto and off of stuff as I have shared in the past, and now she tries to use the same technique for going over things as well.  Doesn't quite work the same.

Then we sat on a bench and had some water (yaya).  Caroline likes my camelbak water bottles more than her sippy cups so we got her her own today.  It is much smaller than this one.

We're getting excited about the holidays and hopefully will have more photos more often.
