[blparent] kids and the park

[Stephanie Mitchell]

Until now, we had no access to the park that I could walk too.  
Now we do.  It's something I want to do.  I know it's taken a 
while.

Do you really want to do this, or do you  just think you should 
want to?
I ask because the difference is huge.
Your five and eight year old will join the pack of kids that will 
be playing.  You'll have to have them answer you when you call 
them.
Your 16 month old will need your constant attention, and you'll 
just need to stay on him or her all the time.
The five and eight year olds will be apiece of cake.
I'm actually surprised you haven't done this, assumming that this 
is a true want, v.  a want you think you should have.  I say this 
because my kid is almost five and since she was about two and a 
half, we couldn't go by a park without her saying she wanted to 
play.  Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't.
So I say this because you've had these kids for awhile now and 
you don't hold off this long unless this is something you really 
don't want to do.
And, if you don't want to go to the park, that's fine.  Just own 
it and emphasize and enjoy the things you all enjoy together.

I have a almost 5 year old and a 8 year old, and a 16 month old.
One of the things that has really bugged me is going out with the
kids.  I'd never had the guts to take them to the park.  I'd
wanted too, but am not sure how I would keep a track on them all,
esspecially when I don't know the lay out etc.  So, do any of you
do this? If so, how?
Thanks,
Steph
