Ben's Swingin' Good Time

Apparently the swing-drought is over. Now they BOTH enjoy the swings...in moderation. Ben likes to sit on them, but not be pushed very much. Emily likes to both sit, and be pushed, but only lightly, and only for a short time. Oh, how I long to be one of those parents shackled to the park-swings, pushing the afternoon away. It seems so peaceful...all you have to worry about is making sure your kid doesn't accidentally kick someone running too closely by the swing set. Instead, we spend maaaybe 5 minutes, then we're off to our next daring adventure. Lately, they can't be bothered with the age-appropriate play areas. They want to run with the big kids. Run, climb, potentially fall off of things. It's exhausting!


Ben, after an over-zealous attempt on my part to push him on the swings.


Much happier to do his own thing!


He liked Emily pushing him, at least! Whatever, dude.
