He's a Swinger ... or maybe a Pusher?

Dries enjoys being in the swing. However, this week he discovered another thing to enjoy about swings: Pushing! He took a knock or two from standing too close to the returning swing, but soon figured it out.

Pretty good, huh? There was absolutely no adult help in getting those swings going like that. He's coordinated, and strong.

Everyone was having fun. (Including me, who finds pushing swings to be among the most unutterably boring tasks of childcare. It's a failing,  I know...)

All that pushing is thirst... er, piddly? ... work...  

Also: toddlers are so lucky. You know how I was saying how easy the job was, only last week? Well, it does have its particular challenges. See, I had to pee, too, but do I get to go right when I'd like to? No, I do not. Instead, I have the unenviable task of trying to hurry four toddlers home to my bathroom. Hurry them! Hahahahaha...

(I'm jealous...)
