Fun in the playground

One of the great things about the condominiums that we live at is there are two great playgrounds for kids and a huge kid's pool. We have spent lots and lots of time downstairs, especially in the late afternoons, after nap time and when most of the kids are back from school and out to play! Juliana has made some friends too and people that I don't even know call her by name!! Popular little girl she is :-)

On the way, of course she had to stop and check out the flowers. She almost always picks one or two and brings them back upstairs to give to Jean, daddy or myself, depending on who wasn't with her downstairs.

She loves the shapes and numbers on one of the boards at the playground, especially now that she knows what they all are!

She's very confident on the slides, both these and the ones in the pool. The only time she puts her hand out for help is when she's climbing back up one of the steep slides.

There are two playgrounds, but we've found that she likes the one with stairs better, because it's easier for her to get up to the top.

Ready to go!

Yesterday, Juliana made a couple of new friends while we were playing. She found a ball and she was playing with a little boy. He kept teasing her, running away with it and chasing her down the slide. She was laughing hysterically, loving the attention! She also met another little girl who was kind enough to introduce her doll to Juliana and let her hold it for a few minutes. Amazing, considering how protective Juliana is of Pooh...I don't think she would allow another kid to hold Pooh!
