Tire Swing

I pick Ally up from school about 4pm. Lately that means it is almost dark. But she always asks to play for a while on the playground. Its tough now with the darkness, and our 20 minute walk home. But I usually agree for a few minutes. One day this week she has the whole tire swing to herself. Ally has a long love of tire swings - for about 3 years now she has loved them and looks at them longingly in other people's yards and on TV. She is pretty psyched that her school playground has one!

look mom - no hands - she hasyou push and spin the swing and then lets go with her hands and keeps her balnce by holding onto to the inside of the tire with her feet

so high

and the finale was standing on the swing

Then she was pretty tired for the walk home and I ended up carrying her on my shoulders.
