Thursday Balance Blogging

For this week’s Toddler Blogging, here’s a dad’s eye view of one of today’s playground activities: walking the 4×4 border on the sand playground as if it was a balance beam.

She doesn’t actually need to hold my hand to walk this, but it makes her happier.

I snapped that with my phone, expecting her to still be in “No Pictures” mode at home. Surprisingly, though, she agreed to have her picture taking reading books with Mommy:

That’s the sea turtle book that Grandma and Grandpa gave her (after a trip to the Virgin Islands where they saw turtles while snorkeling, I believe). She spread a huge pile of books out on the floor, making a giant mess, and then had us read about half of them. In case there was any doubt, she’s definitely our daughter.
