Jaydon got to spend the cool morning at Wannamaker County Park. It was actually very busy with several school buses dropping off kids for a Friday activity day.
Jaydon and I spent most of our time at the playground. He ran, climbed and slid down slides. But he one thing he did the most, was play with pebbles and stones.
Jaydon first decided to start playing with the rocks after seeing other toddlers picking them up and tossing them. This quickly became a bad habit as Jaydon started mimicking what they were doing.
As hard as I tried to redirect Jaydon’s attention to other things once he started playing with the stones their was no stopping him.
Luckily Jaydon did not throwing too many pebbles. Most of the time he would just grab a fistful, look at them and then drop them back onto the ground.
Last Thursday Jaydon got the opportunity to spend some time at the Otranto Road Regional library. After looking at some children’s books Jaydon decided he wanted to checkout a video.
Jaydon looks through several children’s videos at the Library.
Jaydon has a computer Wall-E toy and book so he was excited when he found a move about the little robot. He walked around the rest of the time at the library holding the video until I was ready to checkout.
Jaydon fond the movie Wall-E.
When we got home I put the video into the DVD player as Jaydon sat down in his favorite chair. This was the first full length move Jaydon had ever tried to watched and sure enough he got board half way through it. But a long movie did not stop Jaydon from liking Wall-E. He still plays with the computer toy and reads book and from time to time.
The band Rivers & Company playing at the North Charleston Arts Festival Grand Finale, Riverfront Park.
This year the finale was held at Riverfront Park. We got to enjoy some great food as we listened to the band Rivers & Company play a mix of R&B, Motown, beach, jazz, and up-tempo dance party favorites. Jaydon also got to see HomeSpun Hoops preform and then was able to burned off some toddler energy in a Jump Castle with his little friend Ryley.
With a glow stick in hand Jaydon makes his way to the front of the crowd to see the band play.
Jaydon really enjoyed the listening to the music. He ran up to the stage where he could see the band play. Jaydon would even dance occasionally to the music.
Jaydon dances and shakes his glow stick as he listens to the band play.
At 9:00 pm the Festival ended with a fireworks display. Jaydon and Ryley were awestruck with the bright lights but quickly got upset with the load boom of the fireworks. We quickly packed up and headed to the car.
Fireworks erupt in the sky at the end of the North Charleston Arts Festival.
Even though the boys did not like the fireworks show at the end everyone still had a great time at the Arts Festival Finale.
