Tyger in the park 2 and flashbacks to Princess Butterfly

During his visit to the Proud Gs last Sunday, Prince Tyger also visited their neighborhood playground.  Some of the scenes from that visit reminded me of Princess Butterfly's visit to the same playground nearly two years ago.  How time flies!  So I'm taking the opportunity to bring these two cousins - who are physically separated by a couple thousand miles and a couple years - together in a virtual manner.

When Princess Butterfly visited, she was 18+ months old.  It was fall and the weather was wet, so the Princess was dressed in her rain jacket.  But she was still fascinated by the bouncy car.

Last weekend, the temperature here was very hot.  Prince Tyger, who is 22+ months old, would have loved to throw off his clothes altogether.  The weather had been quite dry and the bouncy car, which Prince Tyger also loved, was covered with sand.

But the bouncing was the same, wet or dry ...

and was a hit with both.

Here Princess Butterfly flies through the air in the swing

and so does Prince Tyger.

Unfortunately, the playground slide didn't interest Princess Butterfly too much

but Prince Tyger hopped right on - not to slide but to "steer" the "ship."

I guess it's a male thing.
