First up is a yet-another-trip-to-the-playground. More swinging and lollygagging at the Arroyo Vista Elementary School. Emma is, at last, doing a great job of “pumping” on the swings. Once she gets started she can barely be stopped!

Henry, too, is making his way around the playground quite well know that he’s more mobile. Marla chastized me the other day for sending him down the slide by himself.

“Daddy! We would never have done that with Emma! I would never have done that with Henry!”

Ah, the plight of the second born – and a boy to boot! He’s destined for a hard-knock existence compared to his young, delicate sister.
