A Day in the Life of a G-Monkey II

Yesterday, my darling girl decided she wanted to play bird and fly!  She climbed to the top of the slide and jumped.  DH and I were in the kitchen trying to decide what we wanted for dinner.  Both girls were playing outside and the baby was asleep.  It should have been a few, rare moments of peace.  I heard her cry but it was the same cry I hear 50 times a day.  I assumed they were fighting again but then heard the oldest yelling for us to come quick!  G-monkey was face down in the grass, sobbing.  All you mothers out there can imagine my feelings.  Was she okay, what was the fastest way I could get everyone ready to get to the er, why wasn’t I out there with them, why didn’t I recognize her cry?  Well, she is okay.  A little bruised and she has a sore foot that I’m watching closely.  She will no longer be allowed to play outside without a grown-up.  I can’t believe I let her do that anyway.  What was I thinking?  I know her and her crazy ideas!  Lesson learned…
