We haven't been to a public playground all year, but that changed this week. We had family pictures at a nearby park on Sunday. In an effort to encourage good behavior, we promised the kids they would get to play at the playground when we done. This was mainly for Esme and along with talking about it lots and making sure she got a nap, she did amazing! We were both surprised at how well she did listening to us and the photographer. They were so excited to get to play afterwards. More research is coming out about how difficult it can be to spread COVID-19 in outdoor settings, so we are getting more comfortable with it.
We've gone to our local park a couple ties since then as well. Parker loved the little spinning seat there, so he was so excited to be back.
Just like her mom and nana, Esme likes to make friends wherever she goes. We usually end our park visits in October when the weather turned colder, but I expect we may just bundle up and visit longer this year. I am still not comfortable with any indoor activities, so this may be all we have this fall and winter.
