Gianna's Playground

My granddaughter, Gianna, lives in a home with a generous back yard and lots of kid-gym equipment. Plus, she has attended many Gymboree sessions. So, she's pretty fearless and very determined. Which can scare the adults to death.

The newest addition to Gianna's playground is a trampoline, which she calls her "leen".

Another recent arrival is this climbing dome.

Gianna loves Ella, talks about her all the time, and in fact uses "ella" as her word for any dog, including stuffed animals. But she generally prefers the real Ella to keep a respectful distance.

Meanwhile, little brother Dominic explores his own play seat.

Jenny chases Gianna with her baby brother, which makes all three giggle furiously.
