We have been going to Fire Truck Park (or Cheese Park) since Amara was about six months old. It's a fun, safe, and sunny (sometimes too sunny!) playground not too far from home. Right next to the park is a skateboard park, which has long intrigued the girls and their friends.
I have never liked it. It's all concrete, it's steep and it doesn't feel safe. There have been many a time when the girls have wanted to explore it and I have hovered too close by as they climbed and crawled. But they are not little tots anymore. So on a recent visit with their pals Sasha and Naya, the girls asked if they could slide down the concrete hill with cardboard as their sled. How could I say no? So off they went. Cardboard slipped away too frequently causing holes in their pants but they had a blast. What was once off limits is now a source of fun. It's amazing how life changes so fast in the lives of little people.
