Here is my Five Minute Friday, http://thepinkteeshirt.blogspot.com/2013/06/five-minute-friday-fall.html. There were about 5 years where my boys were trying to insure full employment for the good doctors at Pinnacle Orthopedics. I lost count of how many broken bones that was. They were teens at that point. Those breaks and two torn meniscuses and a torn shoulder cuff was a lot of face time with orthopedists. At one point they told me I could apply for a job and get paid for the amount of time I spent there. Hope your kids stay safe.

WHOA!!! Love the pic of your 3 on the rim, but I already felt my heart pumping fast wanting to shout — STAND BACK! Maybe we as moms ingrain in our kids “beware of the fall.” Maybe that’s when we become comfortable not risking any longer. Oh girl — your words have me thinking, thinking, and thinking. And also — I have to get that trip in to the Canyon.

Rubber edged living and allowing them to fall. Fantastic ideas here.

The top picture is stunning!

sometimes we don’t do our kids any favors by protecting them from falling. sometimes the best thing we can do is teach them how to dust themselves up, stand a little taller and try again even if that means risking falling again. but i’m finding the best way to teach my kids that lesson is to make sure i model it for them…

that’s hard.

My little girl is 5 and if she’s on a minor incline I’m already screaming like a banshee that she’s too high up with the bicycle, or if she climbs anything higher than the footstool I’m ranting that she’s too high to jump… clearly I need to get a life. I was ALWAYS upside down from something way up in the air. I think my mother just chose to not look… I’m going to try and adopt that mentality… but yes… outcrops on the Grand Canyon… NO!!
