Jack liked:
the accessible parts of the playground. He went up and down the slide countless times. He even started going down this slide forward – he’s always been a tummy down, and backward facing slide rider, so this was a huge step! He had a play on the spring rockers, and he’s always up for a swing. Actually the funny part was, that he was more interested in the construction cones that were meant to be blocking certain parts of the playground? He kept moving them, picking them up, trying to talk into them. The hardest part for me was trying to get him away from those!
