Mireya's First Trip to the Park

Yesterday, I had a dental cleaning appointment and Mireya and Lane went with him. The dentist had recommended that we start getting Mireya used to being in the dentist's office. She was scared at first, especially when the hygienist turned around with his mask and gloves. She nearly cried. Eventually, after we made a big deal about how "fun" it is and how "exciting," she really had a good time. She went up and down in the chair and she even got to pick a toy (a Care Bear coloring book.)

After we left the dentist, we stopped by Great Harvest to get some lunch. We bought a sandwich and took it to the park to eat, considering it was such a beautiful Spring day outside. While we split the sandwich, Mireya ate the complimentary piece of bread from Great Harvest. Our sandwich came with a pickle that we let Mireya try. She loved it!

Once we were done with lunch, we headed over to the swings to let Mireya have her first experience with them. She was too small for the baby swing, even with her blanket behind her, so Mommy held her while they swung. I swung next to them and took lots of pictures and videos. She had a lot of fun!

As we were leaving the park, we let Mireya roam around on the grass. It took her a bit to get used to walking on uneven ground, but she was cruising around in no time. She found a piece of bark that we took as a souvenir. The wind was picking up by this time, so we then headed home.
