Playground near home

This playground is within 2 mins walk away from our home. I was amazed that Peter just know how to play the cable without teaching him. Peter likes to play with Tijmen who is 5 year old and lives 2 doors next to us.

Watching him plays, seeing him able to do more things week by week is very touching. But it is not always easy to watch, specially when he is doing danger movement. I usually try to say "no" or "stop" later and wait longer and watch from a distance. Often time it turns out not as danger as I thought and he can manage well. I don't want to too easy/soon to apply my boundary to him. He should has the chance to explore and experience.

Pancake Restaurant

The weather was perfect to go to a Pancake Restaurant sitting outside enjoy the sun and a very tasty pancake with friends.
