Ahh, the thrill of the forbidden. The more times I tell Joaquin not to climb up slides the more he (and every other child in the known universe) wants to. Taking turns is so last season. Anyway, the straight slides are actually quite hard to climb up as many of them are relatively steep. And the bumpy ones are ridiculously difficult. However, yesterday, while playing at the park on base, Joaquin discovered that twirly slides are much easier to climb up. He did this several times despite interruptions where he had to slide down to let other c
hildren have a turn. I think my favorite is his fixed smile that indicates concentration. He's having fun, but very serious fun. Still we conquered in the end. He made it all the way up to the top twice on his own. Veni Vidi Vici. Plus we got have lunch with Daddy and play on a playground without sweat running in our eyes. How often does that happen in August?
