..a day at the park..then the mall!

It was warm enough for us to visit the park today. We had tons of fun! Lauren loved it- because there was a little park just her size! Her favorite thing was going down the slides! She has no fear! While we were there- it did get a little windy- so we decided to go to the mall and play indoors. As we were getting ready to leave- lauren had a little melt-down. oh my. it was as bad as putting her precious wubbies in the washer. totally unglued! we had to carry her to the car because she was just too sad to walk. She finally calmed down just as we were pulling into the mall parking lot. Then we started the process all over again. As she is getting more vocal about her opinions- she does tell us what we should be doing now. "GO NOW!" as she points to the little indoor park. "HELP PLEASE" as she needs help taking her coat off so she can run freely! "BYE BYE" as she runs in the park with the other kids! She does obey pretty well- today it took us twice before she willingly left the park when it was time to leave. No tears at the mall. we walked around a little more and after maybe 10 minutes of window shopping- lauren was passed out in her little stroller. How cute!
have a good day!
Oh- one other favorite sentence she has learned is "I WANT IT" - imagine how fun that is to hear it in the store every 2 seconds as we're going up and down the isles.! I'm not convinced she really WANTS to take it home- just to touch and feel every blessed thing on the shelves!
