Stephanie,
I am thrilled to learn that you are working on your O and m. I know that has
been a concern for you in the past, but I did not want to bring up your
personal info on the list. I am glad you found someone to work with.

I know you did not mean this to turn into such a big thread on the list, but
I would like to hear about how it goes. Please let us know; good or bad. We
have all had days where it all went wrong and we come home feeling a little
defeated, so I hope you will let us commiserate with you if it goes badly
too. Still, I know you are a caring and thoughtful mom who would not be
considering this if you had not thought out the obstacles. I also think a
small playground like the one you described is a great place to do this.
Have fun. I miss having a park with in walking distance. 

Jennifer

I'd been working on o and m for the last 12 months learing the 
area.

Rebecca,

In case I was not clear, I agree with you that Stephanie should 
just make
this trip.  I think it will go better than she worries it will.  
Still, I come
at this with good o and M skills.  The tone of your messages 
leads me to
believe that the same is true of you.  Will you please tell me 
again about
your kids ages?


Jennifer

Your oldest kid is eight years old.  Your middle one is five.  
Why does this
worry you so much?
Certainly both the older ones have gotten a few scrapes and 
bruises now and
then?
I'm sorry, I just don't know how to be nice about this.  I guess 
I'm just
amazed your older kids have lived this long and haven't had the 
oppertunity
to fall off a slide or tried to jump off a swing while it's in 
motion.
Are there other issues going on?

I was thinking along the lines of injury or falling.

Something happening as in what exactly?
I ask because lots of things *might* happen, most won't.
Can you pinpoint what exactly beyond "something might happen" has
you worried?

All the kids are sighted.  I guess it's my fear of something
happening that holds me back.

Are your children sighted?  If you go and get a general idea of
the park
layout when you don't have all of them with you, that might help.
The older
ones will be handy to keep track of the baby, especially if they
know to
come when you call them.  If you take the toddler by him- or
herself, you
could follow along closely or put bells on the shoes, or a box of
Tic-Tacs
in a pocket so you can track that way.

 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
