First time at the park

Zander's first day at the park was yesterday. I'm going to have to say I'm not a big fan for children his age at the park. While he loved it and could climb up on the climbers, I was terrified he'd fall through the stairs down, or the hole at the fire man pole down. OMG, was a bit too overstimulating for both of us. Though Zander did enjoy himself. I'm just bummed I did this adventure on my own and wasn't able to capture any pictures. Note to self, take the camera out BEFORE you take your kid out of the stroller, lol. We came across some older boys, more or less his cousin's ages, and he thought that of course they'd want to play with him. It was pretty cute, he picked a stick up and handed it to the oldest boy. Then ran circles around the bench they were sitting on (they were in a "time out" for something). Once they were able to get off the bench they started a game of tag with another boy. Zander ran in their direction in awe. It was pretty funny. Then the older boy tagged Zander and said, "Zander, you're it." and ran away. I laughed and Zander had no idea what tag or being "it" meant, but he followed them so the boys didn't really understand he didn't know. Then one boy came and said, "Zander! Tag me! Tag me!". Zander looked to him with the biggest smile and just stood there. I took Zander's hand and tagged the boy. Zander was it once again and the second time I helped him tag he kind of got it and went around trying to tag just that one boy. It was pretty funny watching him try to figure out what was going on, then try to figure out how to keep up with them. Eventually he moved on to the swings. There was another little girl and mommy swinging and the little girl kept moving swings, so Zander had to keep moving swings, lol. He's really too much sometimes =) Overall we had fun, but I think I'll wait a little while to take him back, until he's ready to do the climber without me walking around behind him.
