It's not always glitter and tissue paper flowers in kindergarten.

We've been in our new school for 7 years.

The kindergarten children have been climbing and playing on the still almost-new jungle gym in our playground every single day. They climb it, they hang from it, they swing on it, and they play various games underneath it with nary a mishap.

Until today.

And while our little fella is preparing for surgery on his broken leg, I am planning various centers so that his classmates can send him cards and letters. We will talk again about how to safe on the playground, and what to do in an emergency.

And I will sit under that jungle gym with a huge net for the rest of the year. My heart can't take another visit by the ambulance.
