Hanging out with the Big Kids

Today we met a friend for lunch at Bellevue Square (Misty!!).  I heard they had a really good kid play area so I wanted to check it out.  I figured we would only be "checking it out" since I thought Keaton was still a too young for that type of thing.  So we put on our best Ralph Lauren shirt (thanks Brian and Tara) so that we would fit in with the Bellevue crowd and ventured up to the third floor!

It was mobbed with 2-5 year olds and total chaos!  But to my surprise Keaton loved it!  He was not at all intimidated by the big kids, maybe because he had his own personal body guard by his side the entire time (that would be me).

He made a little friend right away.  Of course it was a girl...he sure does like girls!


He had so much fun exploring.  I really think he was trying to impress the older kids by standing with no hands!  He seemed very proud of himself.


Keaton is getting to the age where he is now able to interact with other kids and "play".  It is so fun to see him develop into a little man with his own personality.  

I have discovered that seeing your child happy and enjoying life is the very best feeling in the whole world.  In the almost 35 years that I've been around, I've never experienced anything even close to as good as this!

Yes, there are more pictures.....because I think it's so great that I must capture every moment!  I definitely need to work on taking less pictures at things like this because Keaton will be embarrassed when he gets older (I'm even embarrassed of myself for being the crazy mom taking tons of pics).

  2. Yes, who cares what your child thinks. Trust me he will thank you someday for all the great pictures and stories of his childhood. Well, maybe not but I appreciate getting to see him and so does McKenzie. Keep up the good work Mom!
