Tonight after dinner, the kids went outside to play. While The Princess and The Boy went in the backyard to play on the swings, I looked around and didn't see The Bear anywhere. My mommy "spidey" senses kicked in and I walked down the street a bit. I am always telling him that if he is going to ride his bike or skateboard around the neighborhood, to just please tell me so that I don't look out the window and think the worst when I don't see him. That being said, he often forgets to tell me... So when I saw him coming back down the street, I called him over and reminded him that he should have told me where he was going. He looked unusually sheepish....and then finally confessed that he also fell off of his skateboard. But the tough guy that he is said he was ok though.... Then he showed me where he fell and he had one heck of a road rash on his waist. Luckily that was all... When we went inside, he showed me the library books that he got out today about skateboarding and how the one book says that it can be very dangerous. Given that book and his fall, it is amazing that I didn't ban skateboarding altogether tonight. I think that shows growth on my part...or stupidity. The jury is still out on that one.
