New play area at the mall






We have a nice mall about five minutes from our house. They just built a new children's play area. We visited it for the first time today with our friends from church R and H. Daniel enjoyed the things to climb, but mostly he liked to look at the other children. It was a rainy morning, so the play area was packed.

One little girl really liked Daniel, and she hugged, patted, and kissed him. Another boy was a little rowdy with him, but Daniel didn't seem to mind.

There was a lighthouse with a slide and a tunnel. Daniel crawled into the tunnel all by himself and went back and forth through it several times. He didn't seem afraid at all.

He stood up on his own for a few seconds again. He just hovers away until he realizes that he's not hanging on to anything; then he sits down. It really startles me every time he does it.

H is about two and half years old. He could run and play everywhere. Daniel is not really old enough to play "with" H, but he loved to watch him. They also spend time together in the church nursery, so I hope they can be good friends when Daniel gets more mobile (but not too soon with the mobility!).
