Trip to the park

Simon loves going to the park and will ask to go there if we ever start walking in its general direction. We are lucky to have such a great park so close to home. On one recent visit, he mastered climbing up one of the climbing "walls" all by himself!

And after he climbed up all by himself:


He also really likes collecting wood chips:

Bonus video of Simon on the swing, which may make you dizzy. He used to be kind of wary of the swing, but now wants to swing very "BIG". All the time. A few translations are below the video link:

Other than just "big," "big fing" (big swing), and "more big," he says "Big kids doing?" pointing at a group of older kids, and "two hands" (wanting me to push him with both hands, which of course is bigger).
