Kaiya in a swingI knew last weekend when it was over 60 degrees in West Michigan in March that we needed to make the most of it because it certainly wouldn't last long. So make the most of it we did! We bundled Kaiya, packed the stroller and headed out to find a park, preferably one with infant swings to give Kaiya a new experience. After two failed attempts (PARK CLOSED UNTIL APRIL 30…still not sure what is up with that) we landed at Richmond Park where we ran into some good friends also out enjoying the sunshine. We found the swings, but after seeing them I wasn't sure Kaiya was old enough so we went for a stroll instead. Sunday was a little colder, but definitely another day to be spent outside. After a little more consideration I really wanted to give the swings a try. We headed back to the park and with a blanket stuffed behind her, Kaiya fit snug in the swing. I'm so glad we tried it because she absolutely loved it. I'm still not sure if she loved swinging more or watching all of the kids running and jumping around her. She squealed with utter delight (see video page). One little boy, hearing her shrieks, ran over and started pushing her in the swing. At first it scared me and I wasn't sure how to react (yes, I am an overly cautious first-time mom), but thankfully his mom followed with my favorite word for small kids around babies, "Gentle!" He listened and Kaiya kept trying to turn around to catch a glimpse of the little person pushing her. It was a nice weekend and a taste of spring that is surely around the corner.
