Celebration Park : Splash Park
10 Things I learned from taking her there:
- The splash park & surrounding park are HUGE, thus, it is important to follow your child at all times, or they will get lost in the madness of water & gigantic maze of slides/stairs/park fun
- Don't try to stay dry. It's no fun, and the other moms will laugh at you. Especially you, the one in nice clothes trying to keep her shoes dry. You look silly.
- Get wet. Get drenched, have fun. Its a lot more fun for you and your kid, and all the other kiddos around whose parents don't care or are sleeping in the shade.
- Don't expect the other kids to follow the rules, behave appropriately or demonstrate behaviors you want your kid to follow.
- Don't expect those kids to have parents who actually parent.
- Parent your child, don't let them run into other kids, splash kids in the face, aim squirt guns at little ones and remind them to share... and that just because s/he is doing it doesn't mean they can too
- Stay for about an hour & if the crazy kids and their parents don't leave by then, they never will so either a)hang in there or b)get out of dodge, they probably called some friends.
- Allow your kid to explore
- Explore with them
- Finally, bring some hand sanitizer & take a nice bath when you get home, ya,know, just to play it safe.
Then it was back to school. Faith is there everyday for half days only, but she was super excited to see her friends and be in her new classroom. Here is to starting school in the US and finishing this year in PARIS. :)
