Indoor/Outdoor

One of M. Small's favorite places is the indoor park, specifically the part with all the ladders and slides that roughly amounts to an eight-story obstacle course. I lost track of how many times I brought him there last year, and I swear that all of the nine pounds I lost in calendar year 2007 were as a direct result of crawling around in there after him.

So now that he's older and more independent, am I going to pack those pounds back on? Well, it's true that we haven't gone there as much this year as we did last year, largely due to a spring-length experiment with a 7:00 p.m. bedtime (results of experiment: highliy satisfactory at 8:30 p.m., less so at 12:30, 1:00, 2:30, and 3:27:52 a.m.).

But on the other hand, I don't get to be as much of a bench-parent as I've become at the outdoor parks. He can't climb up that first cargo net without screaming back at me, "DADDY! I NEED YOU!" So there's that. I'm mainly just hoping to avoid the worst-case scenario, which would be taking up exercise on my own.
