"Play-gound Please"
Lately Guy has become obsessed with playgrounds and has a talent for spotting them at great distances. When he sees them he tells us excitedly "play-gound, play-gound". This particular day was no exception and we broke our usual Sunday routine and went to the Freyberg Beach playground along Oriental Parade. The impressive slide was quickly spotted by Guy and before Jack could slide with him, Guy had launched himself down fearlessly.
Shortly after the slide fun, Guy amazed us by showing off his monkey-skills (he has an uncle on either side who were both noted for their monkey-tendencies) by crawling along the bars all by himself with Daddy hovering to ensure all his teeth remained firmly in his mouth.
Then it was time to go and Guy did not want to go, so he threw a tantrum (another recent development). And what a big one it was, he was flinging himself backwards while on Jack's shoulders. It was actually very funny for both Jack and I and we had to do the 'walk of shame' with our small son bellowing and ensuring that everyone out on Oriental Parade knew of his displeasure! (And you can see that Daddy dressed Guy that morning!)
