I feel very bad because there is a backyard in view from our living room window that my two year old often points to and says "I love slide". These neighbors have a swing set with slide and everything included. It is so sad because she gets so happy like if she asks nice enough she will be able to go out and play in it. So today, as soon as I heard it was going to be nice out (65 degrees was the high) we took showers and headed outside. It was so great. Of course she was on the slide right away and then went back to last year's infamous swing. The thing is, I am not the type of person to be trying to dictate where she should play, but when there are so many other things to do why not run around and do that? Anyway, I let her be on the swing for as long as she wanted, but as if someone knew how badly I wanted her to just run around and "have fun" at the park she noticed a little girl by the slide that she decided she wanted to play with. I was in heaven! I am always looking for new people to chat it up with at the park, especially those that have kids in my children's age range. Well, up to now it had only been my toddler's age, but you get my point. AND here she finds the cutest little girl who is very interested in playing with her too. My daughter is very much a leader so she took the little girl by the hand and led her to where she wanted to play and the little girl happily followed. I am happy to say that at the end of this unintended play date, I exchanged numbers with her mom and we're planning another (this time planned) play date.... what a beautiful day!!!
