Quick before Sleeping Beauty ends...

Yesterday we went to the park with Kyla - Olivia's best friend forever - and her brother Nathaniel and mom, Mel. We drove to a nice one downtown and met there. Poor Mel basically had to watch Kyla and Olivia while holding Nate in a wrap, as Daniel wanted to nurse and really took his time with it.
Things went pretty well. There are always bumps with toddlers, but it was a nice time. Then the park got taken over by big kids. Classes of kids started showing up to play in the park. I thought it was weird that teachers would bring what looked like 8 - 9 year olds to a very very toddler friendly park (plastic structure, everything at toddler heights) and then let them run wild. It was really disconcerting and the supervision was negligible. So, we sat the girls down for their snack and then they went to run around the gazebo, but more classes showed up and those ones went right to the gazebo, so we packed up (it was more or less time to go anyway, but I think Mel and I both felt like it wasn't really going to be safe for the girls any longer - and we watched a lot of other parents pack up their toddlers too - this park is filled with 2 to 6 year olds on most days). We will definitely go back, but not until school is officially out!
