A few weeks ago, I heard Brianna calling out to me, "I so safe, Mommy. I so safe." I followed her voice to the stairs, where I found her -- not so safely -- coming down on her tummy, head first.
Brianna has been out of gymnastics for the last eight weeks. It gave her time to get her tonsils out, and to fully recover. For the most part it was good to have the break. However, this eight week period also coincided with this new phrase that Brianna has adopted whenever doing something that puts her in harm's way: "I so safe."
Here are some examples. Of course, they are in public:
Who needs gymnastics, when Home Depot provides uneven bars? And, they conveniently move around the store with you!!
Toward the end of our Home Depot shopping trip, I heard the LONGEST announcement I have ever heard over the PA system. It detailed how parents are responsible for their children's safety, and how the carts are not for playing on. I just kept nodding, and saying out loud, "I know, we'll cover the hospital visit."
Brianna is signed up for gymnastics again. Maybe if she has a safe outlet for her climbing, and swinging, and jumping she'll stop giving everybody heart attacks?
