Playground!

Yeah! We found a great playground on base. It is just behind the new housing tower that is opening this week. The steps and ladders are just the right size for Evan, and the slides are "not too scary. Just... maybe... a little bit."

The weather has warmed up into the 50's during the day- still chilly in the mornings! It is nice to have a new, clean playground for him to run around on... now, if only there were some kids who lived in the tower! Hopefully next week we'll be able to meet up with our friends, the Edgars- Charlie is just about 2, and Anna-Jane is due April 17th. We have a lot in common!

Evan's favorite slide is a tube slide with sunroofs cut down the top of it- I tried to take a picture but there was too much glare- So you'll have to enjoy the picture of the "wild little monkey" swinging from the ladder.

His favorite characters to assume are:

Gonzo- identified by running around and hitting things with wrapping paper tubes. "Gonzo's just hitting the O"... ah, maybe he's seen a few too many episodes of the Muppets! For those of us that are old enough, we all remember the part in the intro where Gonzo always screws up hitting the gong-like letter "O" of the "Muppet Show"

Miss Moppet- a kitten character from a Beatrix Potter story. Acts slightly mischievous, likes to hide behind the couch, and "wear a dress"... which is when "Miss Moppet" runs around naked and adorns himself with my 6' cloth measuring tape


Pororo- Evan runs around with arms outspread declaring "Pororo is an airplane." It stems from a penguin character on Korean cartoon. Check out this link to get an idea of what TV is like in Korea:
