Keeping Up!

So I didn't want to let myself down in just the first few days on the old Happiness Project. Today seems like an easy one if you ask me.

My son and I go to swimming and my daughter tags along. It broke my heart when she begged to watch.  Unfortunately she isn't quite old enough to sit totally unattended by the pool while I am unable to get to her.  She willing let go of my neck as I dropped her off at the child watch.

My son and I had a great time swimming in the water. He is so chill, but you can tell he adores being in the warmth of the pool and splashing.

The weather cooperated with us today and I had promised my daughter a much deserved and needed afternoon at the park! She made my heart melt.  She flittered and swooshed about like she owned the place.  We even squeezed in a little picnic.  She was thrilled to hear the humming of the train and about jumped out of her skin when she saw it with her own eyes. She had to sit just by the skate park, and thankfully was able to see one kid enter the skate park to skate! She could have stayed there all afternoon....but we had to leave.

My son had to have a follow up at the Doctor about his ears.  On our way out, she noticed the little tykes basketball hoop.  This time, she found the basketball that went with it. She looked into my eyes as she asked if we could please play.  I obliged. It couldn't have been a better day for being outside.   She worked up such energy, she told me she had to sit and rest and drink her water. We both hung back (while her brother hung in the stroller) as we took in the moment.

The day was capped off with a wonderful afternoon and evening with spurts of outdoor play!  She and her brother both went down easy for bed, with fresh air in their lungs and pure joy in the hearts with a wonderful day.

I couldn't be more blessed with how it's all starting, happy, happy, happy.

Did I mention the bonus, the husband was home a little early (for him) and I got to watch our daughter chase him around the yard! Truly feels like Spring/Summer is here!
