Fearless

We took Jack and Dani to Monkey Joe's this past weekend.  It was amazing to see that Jack has now decided that climbing and sliding is fun and that he isn't afraid anymore.  It is SOOOO nice to finally see.  He is independent enough that he will go up by himself and play so it is nice to not have to be with him constantly.  Besides, we have to focus on Dani. 

The girl is crazy.  From the second we walked in she was all smiles, running and jumping and laughing.  She loved the bounce houses but when I brought her up on the slide, we had visions of her as an adult jumping out of airplanes.  I took her down the slide on my lap and when we got to the bottom, she just laughed.  This was no wimpy slide.  It went quick and was steep.  And she loved every second.  It didn't take long for her to want to do it on her own and she would flip to her tummy and go down backwards, laughing and flopping all over the place all by herself.  She fell a couple of times and didn't even cry.  She's ridiculously tough and as Paul watched her run around, he commented, "I'm pretty sure she's not gonna like dolls."  I'd say that's pretty accurate.
