Our walks to the playground usually happen like this: Vivian is happily playing with her toys in the basement playroom. Annelee is way overtired and fussing, but nothing I do will make her go to sleep for more than 52 seconds max. I finally convince Vivian that we need to go for a walk so that Annelee will sleep. Vivian and I have a long discussion as to why it is no longer warm enough for her to wear flip-flops. Annelee is finally in the car seat in the stroller, screaming. Vivian has grudgingly given in and is wearing seasonally appropriate footwear. As soon as we walk out of the door, Annelee falls asleep and Vivian cheers up. Usually, Vivian takes Dolly (who often is now called "Emilem" and is her brother) in the stroller with her. Vivian has picked her own additional attire that day (all I have enforced is that it's warm enough), but poor Dolly is generally still always naked. Today, Vivian chose the princess dress and the rain boots.
So, here are a few photos from today's trip to the playground. For a couple of months now, Vivian has worked on catching up with her climbing/running peers, and has almost achieved that goal. In the meantime, I have gained a few more white hairs.

Climbing up ...
Climbing down ...
Sliding down ...
Not to be left out, Annelee wanted to have her photo taken where it looks as if she had gone down the slide. Then she changed her mind.
