And we still suck

Alex got to take his first trip to the dog park yesterday! It could not have gone better. The sling worked perfectly, the dog was super well behaved and the sun was shining brightly. The cool thing about the sling is that he doesn't have to lay down in it. You can have him sitting up so it just holds him on your hip without you having to hold on to him. At least that's how it worked for Travis. Once I took him, the little beast kept diving and wiggling all over the place until he got his little butt out of the sling...at which point he cackled hysterically like an evil little troll.

I love the park we take Aiden to because there is a lake for her to play in, wooded areas for her to "hunt" little critters (read: leaves), and wide open spaces for her to run to her heart's content. And run she did. It was really cool to watch Alex though. Every time Aiden would come back into sight, he would start kicking his little legs and squeal with delight. He loves that dog. And it is no secret that she loves him. Even now that he can poke her in the eye and pull on her ears. She either just gets up and walks away, or scoots over and licks his face. I do think she is also relishing in the last moments of him not being mobile.

I would post some pictures of how cute the whole fam damily was at the park...but alas, I still have not learned to stop the lack of documentation. No camera. Shocking right?
