Take that, Tunnels

Leo loves slides. But there is one type of slide he always avoids: the tunnel slides. If they're enclosed and tube-like, he wants nothing to do with them. Whenever we'd approach one, he'd shake his head and say "No No."

But then, a breakthrough. At the Children's Museum he went through a tunnel slide that looked like a tree trunk:





Still, I thought maybe that was just a fluke. I mean, it DID look like a tree. It wasn't that long of a tunnel and it had a hole in the top.

But then, at a new playground this weekend Leo went down an honest-to-goodness tunnel slide!

Frank rolled a ball down the slide so Leo had to go catch it!

This pic below isn't a tunnel slide; it's just cute!

And just in case you thought that was another fluke, he tunneled some more at our regular park today!

Cure fear of tunnels? CHECK.

Cure fear of inflatable cars filled with balls? Still working on it.
