I was a beautiful sunny day today so babies and I went to the playground. It was my first time at the neighborhood playground with the babies and only my second time with them at the playground in general. They love it, I should really do it more. I, however, do not love it. I don't love the vibe among the parents. It was a weird suspicious, decidedly unfriendly vibe. In some ways I was glad not to have to be friendly with other parents but it felt like people were actively avoiding having their kids interact. I don't know. Maybe I was reading the situation wrong. I guess it didn't help that some park employee came around and told us all to watch out because some one had tried to steal people's bags not too long ago.

That sucks about the weird vibe, but try it out a few more times. Nams LOVES LOVES LOVES the playground. She cannot get enough of it. And, it sure helps to wear down some little ones. Keep 'em running! --TK
