I love that there are so many parks around St. Louis that we can go to. When we used to take Henry to the park he would pay no attention to the playground equipment, but rather go straight towards an open grassy area. He loves to run around, pull out grass or any other living plant, look for sticks, rocks, leaves, garbage, and play in bark chips, dirt, water or mud.
I'm learning to let him get dirty and play. It's hard for me to do because I am naturally a very clean and tidy person. But I think it's good for him to explore his world. So I take a deep breath and say to myself--let him play.
Now that he has better gross motor skills, he can climb more on the playground equipment and enjoys the park even more.
