We took Carter with us to the dog park for the first time today. It's the first time Charlotte's been there in over a year (maybe two). It's in the mid-40s today so I bundled Carter up in a sweater and hat and put in the Baby Bjorn. He seemed to like the cold air, though his cheeks are a little chapped now. Several dogs came up to me and sniffed at Carter's feet. It seemed a lot them were curious about him. A few people told me that their dogs had never seen a baby before. Luckily everything went fine, though I was pretty nervous about protecting Carter.
Charlotte seemed to enjoy herself. She was generally independent and enjoyed sniffing around instead of playing with the other dogs. She went in the pond just enough to get her belly wet. She was pretty shy when other dogs tried to get her to play and sat down a few times with her tail tucked until the other dogs left her alone. She's not as quick as she used to be when she could outrun any other dog at the dog park. I think we're going to try to go there more often though since Charlotte has been a little neglected lately.
