ÁREA PARA NIÑOS DE 1 A 80 AÑOS
A few days ago I walked down to the playground with Alleke and noticed that someone had scribbled on the sign at the entrance with a permanent marker.
Where the sign used to read, “Area for kids ages 1 to 8,” someone had drawn in a small zero with a smiley face in the middle. Now it read, “Area for kids ages 1 to 80.”
I took that as an invitation to plop down next to Alleke and dig my hands in the sand. Funny, none of the other parents decided to join me.

For more, read about Alleke making friends at the playground, and oh yeah, the time she ate a cigarette butt in the sand.

One of the greatest things of being a parent (or grandparent) is being able to be a kid again.

I can’t believe no other parent was playing in the sand. I am looking forward to next spring when I can do that with my son.
