Going to the playground with my baby girl is really fun until she wants to run away from me and then I have to chase her…
So a little break here and there is a good distraction, I think…
Until the moment occurs when the only thing my baby girl wants to do is take off her shoes and run away again…in her clean, white socks. So I’m forced to keep her put while I manage to place her shoes on her feet for the one millionth time…
So what’s the #1 rule when taking my baby girl to the playground, while keeping her happy AND her socks clean???
HEAD STRAIGHT FOR THOSE SWINGS!!!
Don’t forget Time Out for Theta Mom is this Thursday! Be sure to post about your time out and come back here on the 28th to link up! If you missed that post or for further details, click here. I can’t wait to see what you’ve all been up to!

Thanks girls! And Teresha, I think she looks fly, too!
Awe…Can you tell me how to get them to keep their socks on at home? That is the one I am struggling with right now. lol

She’s so cute! My little one doesn’t take her shoes off, but heads for the messiest or wettest area she can find. Gotta love ‘em!

I wish my little boy liked the swings, unfortunately he doesn’t. I think my son has the exact same brown and orange hat that you have in your hand. I love hat. Your little girl is as pretty as her mama:)

too funny! When I was preggo w/ my 3rd, I would always head straight for the swings – they would sit there forever so all I had to do was push and not chase – lol!!!! Thank god for swings!
Your little girl is adorable. I remember putting my little girl on the swings for a five minute break. Enjoy the moments.

Wonderful pictures. Wonderful post. Short and sweet and stuffed with reality. We are big fans of the swings too – and any other contraption, frankly, that will keep our little ones from escaping. I am off to check out the Time Out thing… Sounds intriguing!
Love it! My daughter LOVES the swings… and yes running away and hiding from mommy. Last year we were a big fan of the slide until she kept getting slid on at the bottom. For some reason she kept trying to go up the way she had come down despite my guidance not to…. the little boys were not willing to wait for her exit so WHAM her little butt kept going into the dirt with some excited boy thinking, ‘what a cool new slide game’. Ugg
Love the pics – simply adorable!
How fashionable is that little lady? She wasn’t running away from you, she wanted to show all her friends her fabulous coat and hat!
loved this post – can totally relate! Beautiful pics. And also,
THANK YOU FOR BEING MY 50TH FOLLOWER! I LOVE YOU!
hugs and kisses,

Thanks for sharing.
Love the “taking off the shoes” thing. Trinity was the same. Couldn’t keep them on her feet at that age. So cute!
Entertaining blog. Loved reading your recent posts. I will definitely be checking in often!
Our blogs are semi-similar; I’d love your feedback about mine, if you have a sec!

Visiting from SITS. And I agree with baby girl … dirty white socks are so much fun when it isn’t you who has to launder them! LOL

Luv it! Thanks for the blog comment. I couldn’t imagine going through what your friend experienced with going into early labor and her baby not surviving. I’m blessed that if it HAD to happen, it did very early on.
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest
