Fun at the Playground

Today we went to a playground.

Usually when we go to the playground, there's not much for Ella to do. She can swing in the baby swing. And that's about it. We'll put her on the ground for a little while, but she either gets bored or starts eating the wood chips, so she doesn't end up there for very long.

But today, we went to a playground that had the hard rubber surface, so we brought Ella's wheelchair. She had a blast! For the first time EVER, I had to pay attention to where Ella was! It was wonderful. And let me tell you, keeping track of three young, mobile kids at a busy playground was a lot of work! But I loved every second of it!



When we were ready to leave, we had a bit of a walk to get to the car and we had to go through some grass. Ella was getting a little tired and isn't strong enough to maneuver through grass, so I showed Ava and Henry how to help her by holding her hands. Priceless!
