The pictures really do speak for themselves here. Sophie got a new play set and Neal finished putting it together yesterday morning. Today was the first day she was able to play on it since we spent most of yesterday up at Neal's parent's house. Neal spent three nights putting this together so that Sophie could play on it this weekend. He was like a little kid, I'm not sure who was more excited him or her! He would get home from work, we would eat dinner and like a little kid, couldn't wait to go change into his "play clothes" so that he could get out in the yard and make the most of the evening daylight hours to get this thing together! He would work until it was pitch black, I would have to go out and tell him it was time to come in only to find him out there with a flashlight in one hand and a drill in the other......that is what I call determination and an accident waiting to happen all rolled into one! He even worked in the rain one night he was so excited and determined, the things a Daddy will do for his little girl!She was a little hesitant to go up the ladder at first and very hesitant to go down the slide, which is weird since not more than 2 or 3 weeks ago you would have thought she was Evil Kinevil at the park with Neal's parent's, but hey that's a two year old for you, love it one week, hate it the next! Once she came around and got the hang of climbing up the ladder and sliding all by herself she had an absolute blast! Of course the tears started flowing when we told her it was time to go in and get ready for bed, but like anything with her the tears didn't last long. Enjoy the great pics and the look of pure innocent joy!
Reading the instructions, to quote Sophie, "Daddy you're a mess" when she saw Neal's work pants.
Such a big helper.
Working hard.
"Sliding on my belly like Tinkerbell and the penguins".
Scaling the rock wall.
She was pleading for "one more slide" after we had already given her 3 more slides!
We ended on a happy note though!
