Playtime

Yesterday Liza and I went to playgroup at Laurie Hardmen's house and we had such a grand time. Liza loves to be outside and Laurie has a good backyard with lots of soft grass with a little swing set. Liza hasn't decided to walk yet so for the first little while, since there were lots of kids on the swing set we played with a ball on the patio. When things slowed down for a while we decided to try out the slide, giggles all around, especially once I added the spin around three times once I caught her at the bottom of the slide. Hanging out in the tower at the top of the slide was a lot of fun too. Eric Lillywhite allowed us to share his 'boat' with Eliza as 1st mate. I think she liked the higher perspective. She would scoot around try and reach the steering wheel put her hands and feet through the slats and do her little baby chuckle all the while. Eliza is also getting braver. At one point she scooted over to the edge of the slide and then hardly waited for me to be ready to catch her. Luckily I was paying attention enough to get a hold of her halfway down. All in all a very happy morning for both of us.
