This kid loves the park. Any park. Actually, scratch that. Anyplace that has a swing and a slide. Her favorite words, at the moment, are "outside,", "park," and "play."

She's very into climbing the equipment by herself - getting up the stairs and to the top of the slide on her own (don't worry, worriers - I'm always right there behind her.)

Rain? Pshaw. That's what towels were made for - wiping off slides.

Preferring to lie on her tummy, feet downwards, Mae avoids getting her bottom dirty or wet while also giving her tummy and knees a comfortable moistening
