Forest City, the military community we live in, had a community day today. They lucked out because it was another beautiful day outside. It was all for kids so we thought we would take Logan so he could watch all the kids run around. Little did I know he was going to join in on some of the fun too!
They had this crazy 36 foot water slide that kids were lined up to go down! I even kinda wanted to give it a try!
We walked around and watched the kids, they had bouncy toys for all ages.
They even had a little maze for toddlers. Keith took Logan over to check it out. Before I knew it Logan's shoes were off and Keith was putting him in to give it a try!
I won't lie, after he put him in I started to have some Mommy anxiety. I started thinking, how am I going to reach him if he takes off, what if he falls, what if a kid bumps into him, what if... what if.. what if... Luckily Keith is much more laid back and told me Logan would be fine. Which he was, he could balance while the other kids ran by and he really like the balls. He was throwing them and holding them. Here I was worried for the worst and he was having a good time! Jeez Mom, lighten up.
It was a fun afternoon for all of us. A new experience too, as parents giving Logan a little freedom in a new environment with strangers around and for Logan being able to enjoy that freedom.
I know I will have more Mommy anxiety as Logan and Peanut grow up but I will always remember to try and give them space to have new experiences. Plus Keith will be there to remind me to relax, I'm sure of that. ;)
