Fear does not seem to be a concept that Teagan understands. Yesterday we took her to Monkey Joe's for the second time. For those of you that have not been there, they have an area geared more towards toddlers. Teagan spent some time there, but was more interested in hanging with the big kids. We pretty much let her have a shot at anything she wanted to try. Knowing that by letting her play on the bigger pieces, I was forfeiting my right to be an overprotective parent, I watched nervously while giants jumped and climbed around my little girl as she struggled to maintain footing or pull herself up ladders so she could go down the big slide. She held her own and showed serious determination. She conquered all but two of the inflatables and had a fabulous time in the process. She even got to spend some time with her buddy Sadie.
The toddler area, where she should have spent the bulk of her time:
Moving on to bigger and more exciting things:
And finally, the one she attempted but didn't quite conquer. Maybe next time!

Oh fun! Is this the one in Crestwood? I don't recognize the toddler area shots, but I haven't been in awhile. Those things make me a little nervous too, especially now that parents can't go in too. But they always have a blast. We should make a play date sometime.
Yep, the one in Crestwood. I think we may start to become regulars there, so we should definitely meet up sometime.
So funny! I'm the mom that can't wait until her daughter is independent. M still won't go into most things by herself...usually by the time we leave she's ready to try things on her own! She's getting better, so next time you go, let us know! We need to expend a little extra energy these days!
We should just make a big playdate. Usually Sundays after naptime are best for us. I'll just send out an email next time we plan on going!
