I've been making a point lately of going places just for our littlest one. It's way too easy to come up with one million reasons why I'm too busy to do things like take him to the park. But errands can wait and the messy closets aren't going anywhere. This little guy will not be 4 forever.
Yesterday, we found a new playground, just he and I. We had the place to ourselves, all the other kids were occupied with activities, so we had all the time we needed for him to gather his courage and brave that big slide.
After the first run, he proudly climbed up over and over again, and by the end, he needed just a tiny push from me to get started.
It was a rare moment of pure fun and togetherness for him and me.
Time well spent.
