Playground

They had a positive Coronavirus result for one of the staff at Troy’s daycare, so we decided to keep him home for the rest of the week. This means we (meaning my wife) have to entertain him all day now. Not an easy proposition when it’s 30-40 degrees outside and raining, so you’re stuck indoors. Luckily, today warmed up to almost 60 degrees, so we decided to take Troy to the playground and enjoy the sunshine.

He was pretty excited about the slide. I walked him up the stairs and then slid down with him the first couple of times. After that, he wanted to go solo...again and again and again...and again...and again. But at least he got some pent-up energy out running from the slide to the stairs. And we had a blast chasing him around. This might need to be an every day thing if it helps him sleep tonight.

And when he needed a break from the slide, he'd sit down in the mulch that they had all over the playground and dig it up with a stick that he'd found. I'm not sure what the allure was, but he was having a blast flinging mulch in every which direction.
