That being said, my youngest usually plays in the backyard simply because it's safer back there. He has a trampoline, an above-ground pool, and a fort, and a swing set. He is now 11, but I still don't feel a hundred percent safe about letting him play out in the front yard by himself.ms-teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800541997565774872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-44968403511062151122007-06-22T15:15:00.000-05:002007-06-22T15:15:00.000-05:00On lockdown until mom and dad come home?

There is a decent patch of grass outside, but my kids have "nothing to do" when they go outside. And sometimes I MAKE them go outside and hand them drinks and sandwiches out the door. Imaginations--and little bodies--need fresh air! I know there are 3 kids upstairs who NEVER come outside. Sometimes they'll stand on the balcony and talk to my kids, but they can't come down. Why? I always keep the door open and an ear out. When they stop making noise I check on them. Usually I can find them playing in the dirt or looking at bugs. If those kids could come down, my kids would want to go outside more often, and with 5 kids outside, nothing's going to happen to them. How easy this ball could roll!HappyChyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586840416488114845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-88632945483020563362007-06-21T16:32:00.000-05:002007-06-21T16:32:00.000-05:00Maybe air-conditioning isn't an unconditional bles...Maybe air-conditioning isn't an unconditional blessing after all.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.com
