A Day at the Park

01.13.2011

I was at the park today with a little girl I was babysitting and I closely observed the other patrons. Many were sitters, others were mom and an occasional father and grandparent were there as well.

I was reminded of the time when I would go to the park often when I babysat in college and realized that about 14 years later, there seemed to be more men involved in the child’s care. Of course, it could’ve just been the way today rolled out but nonetheless, it was nice to see some men. And not just that, they were actively engaged with their kid.

I did notice that the boys were more rambunctious than the girls which is typical, I think. One caretaker I struck up a conversation with was watching three girls at the same time and said give her girls any day; boys don’t stop. Ha!
