The Great Park

We had such a busy, and fun day today. We started off with Starbucks with our friends then a walk to the park. The girls play and us moms talked. A little boy bit Coco several times. She handled it well and didn't bite or hit back. Parents watch your kids and don't let them bite, oh and his nose was running all over!

Then we met our Mom's group at The Great Park for a balloon ride. They have a huge orange balloon that is tethered and goes up 400 feet. It's pretty cool. I've been wanting to try it. We also took 2 rides on the carrousel. Courtney ate snacks and played with her little friends.

We headed home for naps. Everyone napped including a very tired mama.

When Ben got home we went to dinner at Chilis and then to watch Daddy's softball game. Courtney loved watching the game. She cheered and grabbed 2 foul balls for the ump. She was so proud of herself for helping.

Courtney has been really sweet and good for me this week. I've been incorporating some concepts from the book "the Five Love Languages of Children". I have a ways to go to finish, but I have been trying to spend more quality time with her. It has been super helpful. Just spending 10 minutes with her before making dinner allowed me to make dinner with very little interruptions. I love when stuff works immediately.
