Attention, all Twin Cities mommies! We found a cool new place to play since this endless winter is hampering Miles' need to get the wiggles out! Last night, Miles and I visited Edinborough Park in Edina for the first time. What a great facility. It's really an indoor park with lots of trees and plants. They have a huge 3-story play system with a jumpy castle, slides, etc. They also have a huge gym area with another jumpy castle in the corner, where kids were playing basketball, throwing frisbees, and scooting around on various wheelie chairs. Last night was not very busy, but I can imagine that winter weekends are nutty there.
It was also really cool to watch Miles' behavior in a new space with new people. He was very tentative and watched the other kids for a while. In the big gym, he was very concerned with stacking the cones and putting all the playground balls away in the crate instead of running around like crazy. He was also tentative of the jumpy castle the first time in, but then ran over there before we left after watching other kids jump around. Of course I was worried about him getting pounced on by the big kids. On the big play system, Miles stuck to the safe toddler area and played with the puzzles on the wall for a while, and then eventually climbed up in the play system once some bigger kids ran through. He's a very thoughtful little guy and we love watching him learn!
