The Cure For Cabin Fever


Dear Laney,

The weather cleared up today, and temperatures are all the way up in the 40s, so you and your dad hit the playground.

But first, your dad had to clear the snow away from the bottom of the slide and dig out the area under your swing.


Since summer, it seems you have learned how to hang on to the swing all by yourself, and you think swinging is awesome. At this point, you probably think that anything BUT hanging around inside with your mama all day is awesome.





But what was even more exciting to me is that you've learned to climb up the side of the playground. Your dad and I didn't think you could do it, so he kept his hand about an inch away from you the whole time, but in the end you made it all the way to the top all by yourself. Your dad was very proud.



Can you say more than five words? No. Can you climb Kilimanjaro? Possibly.

It seems that even without being able to play outside for a few months, you've been running playground scenarios in your head, because man - you've got that thing down.


Can't wait for summer. Seriously.

Love,
Mom
