Playgrounds Are a Serious Matter

JR is an incredibly observant child. Whether he is playing with kids his age or going to the grocery store he sits back and absorbs all that he sees. There are exceptions to this, however. When he is with his Dad and me or with his older cousins we see him interacting, laughing and smiling all the time. Other than this he is usually serious, passive, and introverted. This boy didn't crack a smile once during our excursion to the playground. 
In this picture he is pointing to the playground in the distance.
 Here is where the staring starts. This stare didn't stop for nothing.
 Not even smooches.


 These stools were great for him to keep his balance while he stared.
 His shoes were too heavy for him. You can see him tripping in this picture.
 Going from stool-to-stool.


 Mulch is such funny stuff to this guy.
See how hard he's laughing at it?
 The culprits to JR's missteps.
 He had the courage to walk on his own for about a minute...
 ..just enough time for me to take three pictures.

 Will he smile after going on the slide?
 No.
 Still staring.
 Riding on the dog was the closest I got him to showing outward happiness.
 Whenever I stopped rocking him he let me know he wanted me to continue by moving back and forth. It was very cute.
 Bye-bye park!
We'll stare play again here real soon!
