Our poor little niece,"Bailey-Boo" got a big one this time! She got it right between the eyes this time (the tooth came out naturally-well, she pulled it!). Jumping out of a swing is kind of a normal thing to do as a kid, your Mom always caught her breath when you did it, but you probably never actually got hurt. In three years nobody got hurt, but then it happened. Bailey went sailing a good five or six feet in the air and flailed around and landed on her head, on the edge of the sidewalk surrounding the playground.So then came the opportunity for Rob to rent a jack hammer, yes, every mans dream to use one at some point in his life, Rob has now accomplished this! He LOVED it, but he is VERY sore today! The amount of concrete to pick up and haul off is astounding! It was a good 12 inches thick in places! Our weekend project just went a little longer, I think! We are going to be doubling the size of the playground for adequate jumping space and adding tons of mulch for padding! Rob explained to Bailey that because that concrete beat her up, he was beating it up, Bailey smiled shyly. Is it me, or does Rob just seem to like projects!? Anyway, it'll be great-when it's done!
Bailey was back on the swing set the next evening after she received her three stitches and insisted that she would still swing, but that she would not be jumping off anymore. Good plan Boo!
