The scaffolding collapse is 2 blocks away from where I work. I routinely walk up there to get lunch at the "Alley". I could have been walking back at 1:20pm had it not been a Monday. OK, enough said. Life is fragile - this is just another reminder.
Speaking of life. Raising kids is really tough. You want to expose them to everything but then when you do you want to hug them and protect them from failing or being sad or scared.
Case in point, swimming class. Brooke was doing, well, swimmingly (haha) even though I was a little nervous when they swam her across the pool and left her hanging there for 10 minutes. But then they swam her back and she was OK. When they wanted her to float on a stick in the middle of the pool I knew it wasn't going to be pretty and it wasn't. She panicked and didn't cry but wanted to.
I hated it.
Couldn't have hated it more. Wanted to jump in the water and get her. The instructor could tell she wasn't able to do it so she held on to her hand but moved on to get the other kids out there and they all were able to do it so now I'm berating myself for putting her in the class too fast. UGH. I wonder what is going to happen when I tell her we're going to swimming this weekend. I predict panic & crying. We'll see.......
p.s. Lexi off to the doctor again today because I'm pretty sure the old ear infection is back (even though she is on the antibiotics, I'm thinking tubes are coming)
