This weekend A and I got to spend a lot of time at the park. We got to go on Saturday evening despite a chance of rain and we stayed till sunset. She is getting very good at climbing on all the toys. In fact she is getting a bit brave for my taste. Sunday she watched some older kids going down the big slides and she decided to go down herself. Now normally she asks me to slide down with her on the big slides. This time she just sat down, turned to smile at me, and made me watch helplessly as she slid down and almost launched off the slide onto the ground. Lucky for me she flipped onto her stomach at the very bottom of the slide and caught herself. Well of course she loved it and raced to the ladder to climb up and do it again. At least this time she let me watch from the ground where I could help her. It is fun to watch her discover new things like this. Every time she does it makes me even more hesitant about trying to hold her back. I want to keep her safe but she gets so excited as she learns new things and overcomes challenges.
She and Carolyn also watched their first OU football game of the season together. She enjoyed signaling for a touchdown, although not often enough. She finds it hilarious to watch her mom yell and get excited like that. She watched the whole game, which means she was up waaay past bedtime. Carolyn kept trying to explain different aspects of the game to her, most importantly, about Norman and being a Sooner one day.
