Alley Pond Park: Part One

Zachary woke up very early today, at 6:30AM. I have a feeling he got cold. He sleeps in summer pajamas, and he unwraps from his blanket at night.

I decided to change his morning routine, hoping that it will help his morning whining. before, if he woke up as early as today, and we did not need to rush, we would take him to our bed and let him watch videos while we caught another 20 minutes of "sleep." Usually, after that, Zac was very whiny, as if all his morning energy disappeared and he was tired and bored. Starting today, right after he woke up, I include him in a busy morning routine: Potty, get dressed, brush hair, and have milk while sitting in a chair. As soon as he is done with his morning chores, he is allowed to whine or watch cartoons. At that point, it would matter less. So far, the plan is working, and we have smoothly completed day one.

After lunch, once again, we went to a park. And once again, we picked a new location. Alley Pond park is situated is a strange location: right in between a few highways; sort of right in the middle of highways, and almost under them. it is amazing how such a big park could hide like that! Besides thick walls of trees, bushes and wild flowers, there was a deep ravine. Generally, the park felt very romantic! We didn't find the pond itself, however, windy alleys hidden behind giant trees looked very mysterious. 

While my mom and I were exploring the park, Zachary and I played at the playground with Zac's sitter Shawn and her son Logan.

Sunday fun day!
