Grandma and Grandma Streit got Austin a slide, castle, climbing thing for Christmas. Well it came in a large box and it took awhile to assemble and well, eventually we finally got the backyard ready and it put together. First Ryan flattened out an area in our yard and used rubber mulch to to make it softer and more play friendly. It then took a bit of time to put together, but Austin was more than willing to help. Austin loves being in the backyard and does throw little tantrums when he can't go play, but he will eventually learn that he can't always play.

We were having fun even without it together!

The area in the yard that Ryan put mulch on

It was so cute, right when Ryan started to screw a piece in, Austin grabbed the same piece to help.

Getting ready to slide down!

 Goodness I cannot believe how fast he is growing up. The other day he was out on the slide and he stopped halfway down to climb back up..oh boy!

In unrelated news, we finally had to move Austin's crib down to the final level. I really hope we don't have to think about toddler bed until he's two!
