Off to School

Two weekends ago Simon and I (Christopher) had the house to ourselves while Leila was away for her first weekend at teachers college. Of course we missed her, but we had a great time together full of fun activities.

As his dad, it is my responsibility to help Simon develop his taste for speed and adventure. Going for walks in the stroller is a start, but only a beginning. Stroller-blading was the natural next step and the parks and pathways near our house are perfectly suited. I have also installed a bicycle seat for longer trips around town. Simon finds the continuous change of scenery very engaging.

Simon also still can’t get enough of the jungle gyms at the parks - whether it be swinging into the sky, racing across the bridge at full crawl or pushing himself off to go down the slide.

  2. Scuse me Topher but you really need to wear the appropriate gear next time: spandex pants and bum bag. That is IF you want to reach optimal speed. :)
