We took Ate Ann's advice and has been going for a walk everyday. The other day we did a 4 mile walk and then spent the rest of the afternoon at a park close by. I brought with me a stroller so J can hop-in now and then if he gets tired during the walk. As for the park, he finds it "really awesome". It is the same park we took the Pastoria boys when they came over here, only this time they replaced the structures with new ones. It now has multiple slides, a climbing structure and tons of monkey bars as well as a hand gliding structure. J has gained a new level of confidence too since he managed to overcome his fear of the "firemen pole". He had a bad experience with the pole two years ago and has then never tried until last Wednesday. He was literally jumping with joy after he did it and so after that he has tried it over and over. He still haven't mastered the art of riding the pole but for me the fact that he has overcomed the fear is a pretty good accomplishment. I have observed too that he is scared of heights and what he does is that he just holds on to every single thing while climbing the stairs until he gets to the slide. He even crawls to get to the highest slide, he's not deterred!
I am glad we went for a walk otherwise we would have not seen all sorts of wonderful things, the trees and the new blooms that are so beautiful and of course discovering the new heaven for J. So, if you call us and we're not around you know where we are.

Wow it sounds like it has been a great recovery from jet lag! Good for him learning so early to get past his fears and really enjoying it! We have some signs of spriong here to and I agree, if it were not for the dog's walk we would never have noticed so many great little signs of spring and the changing seasons. it really makes the day, all the little happinesses
