If at first you don't succeed....
My boys love to play outside. Which is wonderful and healthy, of course. The problem is the stress that it causes inside my head. I have to keep track of Patrick at all times and on four acres of land that can be difficult. I'm ALWAYS worried about losing him.
Today we went outside. I have a very sore back and am tired because Patrick was up with a nosebleed last night. But they really wanted to go out and play in this beautiful weather we've been having. So, I said yes.
Out we go. I find myself a spot in semi-shade...completely aware that I'll be up and running within seconds....minutes....hmmmm, this is different. They're sticking together. They're playing where I can see them. They...they....I can't believe it. We can sit outside and enjoy the day together.
...try, try again!

Keep at it or rather, I hope you can stay under that shady spot! We don't have 4 acres to track Charlie over, though he would love that.
Hope the trend continues!
Our yard is so tiny it is practically non existent. And I still worry about losing track of M! We don't live in the best area either so that adds to it. I guess whether you have lots of space or little space our kids require a lot of watching and it can be tiring and stressful.
Back pain is the worst. I have that a lot as well. I hope you are feeling better soon. Hugs.
