The Playland Returns.

This was Kaden's favorite place to play until he started crawling.  Now it is Kindi's turn to enjoy it.  I didn't get it out as early for her as we did with Kaden, because of Kaden!  Laying her on the floor in such a vulnerable position didn't seem like the wisest idea while Kaden was learning how to be a big brother!  He still gets a little clumsy and bumps her around some, but for the most part he tries to be careful with her.  Once in awhile his aggressive nature comes out and he wants to poke her belly or show me she has eyes, and gets too rough.  His latest is trying to move her from point A to point B.   The other day she was laying in the playland watching Kaden play with his toys and I went to wash my hands, or something like that.  When I got back to his room Kaden was backing out with Kindi's shorts in his hand.  The problem was that her foot was still attached to them!  He had tried to pick her up and instead grabbed her shorts to drag her out but the shorts pulled off, almost!  He'd pulled her a couple of feet or so!  You'd think Kindi would have been upset by this, but no.  She was grinning up at him. 

The stages of Kindi's development are so exciting.  At first she just stared at the pretty colorful toys above her, contentedly sprawled out.

Take my picture too Mom.

Now it is so fun to watch her learn how to grab toys and play with them. 

Kaden makes sure to get his play time in still!

Sometimes, in fact quite often, he just crawls right in with her and they have a blast.  Until he starts kicking the bars and toys start bumping into her face.

Kindi has a death grip on that poor frog's leg!  That toy was designed very smartly (Is smartly a real word?).  Kaden always liked to grab it too.  When it was Kaden's it sang though.  Since then the batteries have died.  I just tore it apart and am going to try replacing the batteries, but it was a pain.  I had to rip the seam and will have to sew it back together again.  I hope it works!  If not at least she has two other toys on there that will sing to her.  I don't know what happened to most of the original toys that came with it, so we just substitute other fun things!
