at the playground





Posted by Picasa

Ever since he became mobile (and discovered how to climb stairs), it has been so fun to take Sebastian to the local playgrounds. He loves to clamber up the steps, to go through and sit in the tunnels, to go down the slides, to play peekaboo through the bars or the plastic windows. I love to take him and crawl around with him, letting him explore everything and use his little body.

We are extremely fortunate in our choices of playgrounds, as well - there are two in Dobbs, both within a 5-minute walk. One is at the waterfront, and is pirate-ship-themed. The other is brand new - we watched them install it last May - and has great side-by-side slides so that we can go down together. In Hastings, there are three playgrounds - at the waterfront, at Zinsser Park along the trail, and next to the school athletic grounds. The last of these is always packed with children; there are swings, sandboxes, little riding creatures, and two separate jungle gyms for little and big kids. And in Irvington, there's a wonderful little playground just off the trail - the little kids jungle gym is treehouse-themed, and very cute. We've been visiting all of these, and loving them all.
