noah was getting a little fussy last night, so since bryan took the car to work, i plopped him in the stroller and decided to just go walk around some of the stores near us. half way through we stopped at mcdonald's, just to take advantage of the playground so noah could get out and move. i haven't been in one in quite a while, so i was amazed at the four story (pint size stories that is) climbing thingy, which was the only thing to play on. being all enclosed i wasn't sure i wanted him to play in it (it isn't made for adults at all) and wasn't sure he'd want to. well before i knew it he laughed and took off up the pipe, through the bubble and to the windy stairs, which he proceeded to climb. he'd look down at me and laugh every now and then, and continue to go up. well, the third story is mostly enclosed tubes and such, of which i lost my son! i wasn't sure quite what to do, not having another child with me who i could send after him, and knowing i couldn't get him myself. so i just waited and figured he'd have to come down eventually (and if i had to i would send a tiny teenage burger flipper up there to get him!). about five minutes later his little face pops up in the screen way up high and he starts waving to me and laughing, then disappears again. finally he decides to come down and when i could reach him i slowly pulled him to 'safety'! of course then he cried because he wanted to go back up... but my heart had had enough stress!
then today we went to a new park with this big climbing rock wall on one side, which he proceeded to climb three different times (with mommy close behind of course!!)...
i think i'm raising quite the adventurer!
oh and walking news!! he does take about 4 steps now on his own, and even let's go of my hand on his own! today at the park he took 9 steps and only stopped when he found an empty french fry box! yay for noah!
