After school today, I took the kids to the big park on base. It was a fight to get Derric to go, one that resulted in him having a major meltdown and crying fit. I think four years in an apartment wasn't that great for him, he doesn't like going outside now. It is such an odd behavior. I think the meltdown was a mixture of him just not wanting to go to the park, and me trying to get him into sandals. Whenever we change his shoes, even when he out grows a pair, it is always an adjustment and lots of meltdowns. So the sandals were just a cherry to the top of an already meltdown.
Once there, he opened up and started playing with the rest of us. First it was fun with Cody pushing Xavier on the tire swing. Then we moved over to the swings, and from there the marry-go-round. We spent a good hour and half having fun. Pictures are posted on the picture site, stop by and take a look. The kids have grown so much!
