We went on a short camping trip with the best little camper! Henry is finally understanding what we mean when we say, "Stay close to Momma!" (or Daddy). It was so great to not be running three campsites away every few minutes or trying to touch the fire over and over.
And the state park had the biggest, coolest playground I've ever seen. The kids were using so much imaginative play and there were some adults (besides Ben and I) playing on the tires, too.
And another reason that I'm a proud momma: Henry is doing well with potty training for pee! Well enough that we packed his travel potty seat and set it up at the campsite. That is a pretty great view for potty time, don't you think?
Funny enough, one of my fondest memories of being out when I was little was using a potty with a great view. Except this was an outhouse that we kept the door open on because it was so rank. But I still have fond memories of watching wildlife.
ReplyDeleteWeird story, but I'm sure he'll love it!!
Looks like great fun and glad 'things' are progressing! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa! I just wrote a blog post with a very similar first paragraph. YAY for Henry!! It is so fun when kids finally turn that corner and start to figure out something we have been teaching, isn't it? And potty training has to be the biggest accomplishment! That playground does look really fun. Glad you had such a great trip!
ReplyDeleteSo true about Instagram!! We are too wussie to be out camping this early. It's in the 40s at night, brrr! But I really do want to camp this year. We've been setting up the tent in the yard and the kids adore it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you don't stop blogging. I like reading more about your projects than what you can say on instagram.
ReplyDeletewell for those of us luddites who don't have instagram i thank you for mustering up the energy for a blog post! otherwise i'd never know how cute you and henry look peeping out of a giant tire!
