HOWEVER, WHEN I GOT OLDER I DID USE THE PLAYGROUND LIKE YOUR PREVIOUS COMMENTATOR'S SON BUT A LOT OF TIMES... A LOT OF TIMES THE KIDS WOULD GET TOO ROUGH AND I WOULD END UP FALLING.. THIS STILL HAPPENS NOW WHEN PEOPLE DPN'T PAY ATTENTION.. IT SUCKS TO HAVE BALANCE ISSUES BUT AT THE SAME TIME ITS GOOD TO LET HOM DO THESE THINGS.. JUST LOOK AT HOW WELL E IS DOING WITH THE PLAYGROUND THING.. <br /><br />BEN WILL GET THERE DON'T FORGET HE'S NOT 4 YET AND HE WILL GET THERE..<br /><br />MELISSAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527208639978294426.post-3217474992717726092011-07-20T00:32:47.995-03:002011-07-20T00:32:47.995-03:00Hi Cary!

I remember last summer I took my boys to the playground and I was pushing them in the swings. I watched a little girl about the same age as them walk up the steps to a slide and go down all by herself and I burst into tears. At that time I wasn't sure my boys would ever be able to do the same. This summer is a bit better as my one sons has learned to climb up stairs and slide on his own but my other son who is more affected by the CP still needs a lot of help. We stick to the quiet playgrounds too!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213590209738598377noreply@blogger.com
