Not Today Hugh
Yesterday a random neighbourhood boy came by. I am not sure what house he belongs to. He was about 5, had glasses and a bit of a speech impediment. He rang my door bell and asked if I had any kids and could he play with them. I explained that they were too little to be playing out side alone. We have also dug up our yard so there is really nowhere to play right now. I did not, but probably should have, explain that the Wolverine glove he was wearing did not make for a great first impression.

Indoor Fun
Today I took the girls to the indoor playground. I have a few concerns about this activity.
First of all, I should get the timid rate. Chickenbutt will not do anything if there is too many kids. She likes to get good at one thing and do that over and over until it is time to go. I was quite proud of her today though, she tried about 3 things. She used approximately 1/16 of the entire play space. Then she announced when there were too many kids for her comfort level at which point we had to leave.
Secondly, there should be more access points. There is nothing I like better then crawling up into the tubes to get Wren. She is not so timid but not quite as adventurous as I would have thought. She dislikes when other kids touch her. I actually told some kids to give her a nudge down the slide and she freaked out. Poor kids were scared, Wren was just being a suck.
Thirdly, parents need to supervise their kids. I know that with my two I will not be sitting around reading or playing on my ancient phone. I have friends who could leave their kids at the building and come back in a hour to find their kids happy and safe. Then there are the other people. If you have a kid that is going to be whipping balls at the little kids, he needs supervision. If your kid is about 11 and is built and acts like a brick shit house, he needs supervision. Biters, supervision. Spitter should just stay home. If you as a parent are not sure, supervise your kid. If you have ever accused the teacher/swim coach/dance instructor/etc of picking on your kid, he needs supervision!
Finally, you must wear socks in this place. I stepped in something wet. In my socks. EWWWW!
