I took Mckayla to Gymboree last night to play. She ran around and played on the mats, climbed on the slides, rolled in the barrel, and had a great time. It was getting late and I was getting tired, so I told her it’s time to go home. We went to the entrance area to put her socks back on. I let her back on the ground while I was looking for her shoes. As soon as she got back on the ground, she immediately ran back to the mats and wanted to play more. So, we ended up staying for a bit longer. Because she had her socks on now, she didn’t have as much tarction as bare foot. So, a little accident happened. She went down the slide and landed on the ground sideways on her cheek. It must have hurt pretty bad because she started to wail. Tears immeditely dripped down her cheecks and she ran to me looking for a hug and kiss her owie. The Gymboree lady there saw her crying and took out the bubble bottle. As soon as she started blowing the bubbles, the crying stopped. And all the kids in the room gathered around us to catch and pop the bubbles flying everywhere. Amazing how they’re so easily distracted and how much all kids love bubbles.
