This morning Maddie and I joined Leah and Grace at Monkey Mania for a play. Maddie loved the jumping castle, but seemed to love the slide a lot more today, getting way too confident and climbing up into the big kids play area and coming down on her own. Leah taught her to go down backwards so that slowed her down a bit, and stopped her from flying off the end of the slide. I do think that the slides go way too fast, not that I let that stop me from having a second go.
Then this afternoon after she was pretty good while I did the groceries we ventured to the cool park in Letchworth for a play. There Maddie watched planes, went backwards down the slide, played ball with Grace and learnt to roll down a hill. Maddie didn't roll around a huge amount as a baby, but today once I showed her how to roll down a hill, she just wanted to keep going. It is awesome watching her have fun and progress so much in her climbing skills.
At the moment Maddie absolutely loves the skirt that she is wearing, but as you can see, it doesn't match well with sliding. I love how she tells me to put it on her when she finds it in the folding pile, and today was so much easier to dress as it was an option.
The picture with the big keyboard mat is taken by Leah, and shows Maddie dancing, I hope she doesn't learn to dance like Nathan, but this picture sure looks like she will.
