Gabe is so brave. He was terrified to walk over this playground bridge, but, he did it anyway. So careful, holding onto the sides and going so slowly. All to get to the slides. 
He had a bad day- he’d decided to run full speed into a wall at Kindermusik that morning, and bit his lip almost through. Blood, blood, blood, it was just awful. On the way home I was trying to talk about everything I could think of that makes him happy, and the playgrounds were the first thing that worked. He wanted to go on a big slide! It stopped the tears and made him forget about his swelling lip for a little while, so of course I promised we’d take him that afternoon. And the entire time I was on edge, worried that he’d do something nuts again and hurt himself worse. We made it out safely, though. Phew.
