Play date at the water park

This morning, I took Sydney to the local water park for a play date. I had been encouraged to go hang out with a group of moms, despite Sydney being the littlest one there. (Plus, Mommy was having a bad morning with Eddy throwing up on multiple occasions, the puppy peeing all over his mat and toys and then a little incident with dog poop all over the bottom of daddy's slippers, which coincidently ended up smeared all over the kitchen [that had been washed yesterday] when the puppy took off running with one of daddy's slippers.)

It was GREAT to get out of the house for an outing!

It must have been visual chaos for Sydney's little brain to take in all of the sights, sounds and splashes. Although, as long as he had one of his (two) rubber duckies in his hands at all times, he seemed quite all right. He sported his Winnie-the-Pooh Little Swimmers (diaper) in style.

He didn't much enjoy the smaller kiddie wading pools because the water was too cold. His favorite seems to have been the hot tub that was a tad warmer than baby bath water, but his bath duck didn't alarm HOT in glowing white letters so, it couldn't have been all that bad for us. He sucked on his duck(s) and kicked his feet, making big splashes and inspiring some of the other little boys to splash their feet as well.

Looking ahead on the calendar, it looks like it will be $5 well-spent, to get out of the house again, on another Monday later in the month.
