Craig's Mum was teaching in the front room. So, after breakfast, Craig spent most of the morning at his new table.
It was a beautiful sunny day. So, at about 3:30pm, Craig was put in his little bicycle seat and taken to the riverside park.
The first place they stopped was a funny little space that had just one rocking animal. Craig didn't care, one was all he needed.
The little party of three then moved on to the Neihu Sports Park. They've been there before but it was some time ago. Craig was really just toddling and that time they travelled by car.
It had been a good 20 minutes or more in the child's seat for Craig and he was super happy when he was allowed out. He ran at least five laps around the jungle gym before starting to play.
Craig was a little bit tentative about playing on the slide when other kids were right beside him.
But eventually he did some sliding.
After a little while, Craig found a concrete pipe that led to a nearby sandpit! He immediately sat down and began to make friends with two bigger kids.
It's quite a big sandpit and lots of parents were happy to get down and dig in the sand with their children.
Craig's Mum kept an eye on Craig through the tunnel. (She was also trying to hide from the camera. Maybe because she was wearing bicycle shorts for the very first time!)
Craig really likes playing in the sand. When the other two kids left he was happy to stay and play by himself.
But, it was getting close to sunset and the temperature was dropping quickly.
Although Craig delayed as long as he could and protested quite a lot before being put back on the bicycle, he was actually very quiet on the trip home. And, once he arrived home he was happy at his new desk again.
"Drawing" is now his new favourite activity.
Not long later, it was time for a warm bath, dinner and bed.
