Ingenious- water playscape















As if running away was not enough celebration of Conrad's 10-month milestone, he was treated to his very first visit to a water playscape. How ingenious is this idea?!?!? Combining a play area with spraying, dumping, shooting water!

Conrad was a bit apprehensive at first (see pictures with shirt on), but then got into the groove of things. He was the only kid there at 10am but it wasn't long before 3 brother arrived and showed Conrad the ropes. He had a lot of fun trying to keep up with them and was then amazed by the buckets that unexpectedly dumped water. I couldn't pick just one favorite pick of the day so here are several. Enjoy!

Escape artist

Conrad reached several milestones today. He is now 10-months old. We are still trying to figure out where these last 10 months have gone or where that little baby has gone.

He also ran away from home. He got as far away as the driveway so not so far. Barry had the door to the garage open and the garage door cracked about a foot or so to ventilate. We finally are getting some cool mornings. This has become somewhat normal to have these doors open. Normally, Conrad steers clear of the garage, but today curiosity won out.

After a couple of retrievals from the garage, we closed the door. A little bit later, Dad decided he would open it again (unknown to me). All was quiet which now means Conrad is somewhere doing something he shouldn't.

Suddenly, Barry yells that Conrad is out on the driveway as he is running to the front door to unlock it and get outside to capture the runaway. I run after him and sure enough, Conrad is standing on the driveway looking very PROUD of himself.

Come to find out, Barry saw Conrad go out into the garage and kept an eye on him to see what he would do... and when he started to go under the cracked garage door that's when he decided to intervene. Ya think?!?!??!

This hammers home the point that we have and will have our hands full with all of Conrad's "adventures" to come.
