Play Date!

Health Update: It turns out that Avery’s ears are clear, no fluid, and he weighed in at 17 lbs 8oz

Last night Avery has his first play date! Because of the none stop rain, rather then take a walk and a play at a park, we went to the mall had some pizza and played in the indoor play area. 

New friends playing at the mall

When we first got to the play area there were kids that were way to big/old to be playing there, jumping from  place to place, something (in my opinion) they should not have been doing, before we had to say anything those kids were gone. Then it became a zoo, little kids came from every where and the play area was buzzing, some times we found ourselves looking at the mob of kids wondering were some of their parents were and why their children weren’t being more closely watched. Avery had a great time watching the other kids run and play while he jumped up and down on our laps, soon enough he will be able to run and play too. 


After the play area it was on to the carousel.  Happily riding a horse next to his new friend on a zebra, Avery went on his first carousel ride. 

Avery's First Carousel Ride

Ready to Ride

I was surprised at how unaffected he was by the ride, I thought he might actually be a bit scared when we started moving, but he didn’t really seem to notice that he was moving up and down and spinning around, he just kept his eyes on the light and mirrors in the center. After that it was home for a bottle and into some pjs, a book and little play/cuddle time and it was lights out. It was really a great night, can’t wait until we can do it again, maybe the weather will even cooperate.
