I didn't get it together to make a playdate.
So once again, it's me and M.
Such is the way of the burbs it seems. Nearly deserted well equipped playgrounds.
Maybe a handful of people - this low number includes kids and parents/caregivers.
Even if we did have a jungle gym and swing set in our yard,
I would still need to get the f*&*k out of the house for a change of scenery.
M feels the same way. He's all for going to a playground for a few hours.
With or without pals.
Unlike me, he's not jonesing for same sized playmates...he's happy to do his own thing.
Ride his bike. Climb a jungle gym or two. Run around in circles.
Lucky me. A totally self-sufficient kid.
On days that I don't have some adult company, I've taken to doing New York magazine's crossword puzzle.
Easy to keep an eye on junior while thinking of the four letter word for "velvety greenery".
Speaking of greenery...
I figure we may as well enjoy this fall weather as much as possible.
Winter will come forth soon enough.
Then we will undoubtedly be the only ones out there in the very deserted playground.
