puddle stomping

Zane had a fun weekend, and he got to play outside a lot!  Which generally means walking around (zigzagging), inspecting things, giggling and falling down a few times. :)  He even got to go to two different playgrounds.  He swung at the park yesterday and spent the rest of the time walking around in the grass and patting low leaves on trees and bushes.  This morning there were no swings, but he did walk around on a little suspension bridge piece.  Zane also got to put his newest skill to good use while he was climbing around the playground equipment - going down stairs!  He decided this was the week to go down stairs on his own (well, with one of us about a step or two below him the whole way), and he opted for going backwards, which is what we've been working on.  Woohoo! 

Then this afternoon, Zane got to do one of his most favorite outdoor activities.... stomping and splashing in puddles!  It's pretty cute - at least he was wearing his rain pants!  He is seriously drawn to puddles.  I didn't get a picture of him stomping in a puddle, but I did get a picture of him getting into some mischief with his sidekick Stanley yesterday morning....
