Playing at the Park

Peter isn't feeling good this past week. He has a terrible cough and John and I jump every time we hear it. After all, his last coughing experience resulted in hospital time. The fever he had last week is gone, but he is still very sleepy and took a 4 hour nap today. When he's awake he gets little spurts of energy but is mostly a cuddle bug and clinging to Chewy day and night. I'm planning to call the doctor tomorrow morning because its been about a week and his cough just worries us.

Today one of John's co-workers had a baby shower at the park. Peter fell asleep at home and I didn't want to wake him so we didn't arrive until the very end of the party. That was good though, I wanted Peter to get rest and I wanted him to have very little interaction with people.

John and I enjoyed the BBQ food and it was neat to observe their family. Made me miss having my parents and siblings around!!! After some snacks Peter had enough energy to play a little at the park.

First he wandered out to the grassy area to sit down with his Chewy.


There was a bouncy castle that matched Peter's outfit!! FUN! Too bad the older kids were going crazy inside. Peter liked watching but we didn't go inside.


John pushed Peter on the swing for a little bit.


It didn't last long because it almost lulled him to sleep again.


We also played in the sand of the playground. Peter had a hard time learning to balance while walking in the sand.


He liked to sit and dig in the sand. We tried to stay away from the other kids that were throwing water balloons and playing with super soakers.


We had to take Chewy away in the sand. Peter had been chewing on his ears and were wet and when they got in the sand Chewy was a complete mess!!! He went straight in the laundry when we got home.


At the end Peter wanted to walk away with the balloons. He may be sick but he still has priorities!!!
