Picture Of The Week: Paris Toddler Playground

Here is E at 16 months old (and me 7 months pregnant with baby D) on his second trip to Paris.

While there are great playgrounds throughout the city (making it easy to stop and play for a few minutes in between museums) our favorite was at the Luxembourg Gardens. The toddler playground had a nominal entrance fee, and in return there was a huge, clean play area with tons of equipment, a fun sand area (complete with buckets and shovels), and even toddler sized toilets in the bathrooms.

The park is packed with activities for kids of all ages (as well as quiet areas to stroll when it's time to put your little one to sleep in the stroller.

While our pre-baby travel days wouldn't have included a playground, it was neat to be a part of this aspect of French life.

    I love this photo!
    Remember when G and E saw each other in Paris and didn't even think it was odd?

    Yes! It was like "of course my best friend from Seattle is here in Paris."

    Yet if their preschool teacher shows up at the supermarket, that's worthy of comment for weeks!
