My Playground

• You might wonder how a baby fills his days in Brooklyn. Of course, I have many activities to keep me busy between naps. However, I do insist that my mom takes me for one particular activity almost every day. I must, without fail, go to the playground around the corner from my house. I always nap better after a little playground time.

When I was a little younger, I could only swing. I liked it well enough but I knew there was more to be done. As soon as I started crawling, a whole new world opened up to me and I started to climb and crawl like the big kids.

I can go down the slide (and I even try to climb up the slide when my mom isn't looking).

I like to climb through the tunnels and peep out the little holes.

I pull myself up on the giant tick tack toe.

I clap for myself (because, let's face it, I am great) in the tunnel.

I pick up all kinds of leaves and debris and try to put it in my mouth before my mom can stop me.

I just can't WAIT until I can run so I can zoooooom around the playground!
