Head first!









We have been spending a lot of time at Kidspace and at the park near our house (almost out the front door!). At Kidspace there is a very small slide and Jac has discovered that he can safely slide down that feet first, on his tummy feet first - and on his tummy head first! Very exciting! This from a little boy that didn't slide by himself at all two weeks ago! Now he loves sliding!

Today we went to Kidspace in the morning where he played on the slide and then to the park in the afternoon. At the park Jac went right up to the top of the big slide and slid down head first on his tummy! I was shocked! The first time he did it he didn't slide off the end of the slide - so he turned around and asked for help to walk back up to the top. I helped him and then he got right back on his tummy and slid down again! - head first! This time he went a little faster and went partially off the end of the slide - and had to hold himself up with his arms. I helped him back up and he slid down again! A few times he nearly face planted - or sort of did - but fairly gently. I was so proud of him because he kept on going up and down - even when he got dirtier and dirtier! Go Jac!

It is so nice to have Kidspace so close - we decided to buy a membership - and it is already paying off. The membership is $160 a year and it is $30 otherwise each time we visit! I think we have already paid for the membership! They really encourage membership with that kind of pricing! The play area is so much like Kangaroo Kingdom that we went to in Boulder - great for the boys for motor development and socialization!
