Update: The New Play Area

Buggy and Buddy went down for a nap together. Meanwhile Mom and Dad assembled the new play space for them. Buggy was the first one up and so the first to try it out.

The yoga mats will provide her head with the necessary cushioning she needs when she tumbles over, until the helmet arrives.

Update: a grammarian schools Dad. " 'Alright' is not a word. I think you mean all right." She's right. Dad relies on an HTML text editor to catch his spelling errors. If it does not, he may not.

All right, Dad is not happy that he has to put a helmet on his kid's head to protect her. He is one of those that fondly derided other parents for over-protecting their children, as in "We didn't have that when we were children! Who needed it? Parents these days are too protective."

Having one or two of your own changes one's mind. Buggy, unlike Buddy, doesn't protect her head when she falls. He will tuck and roll when he goes down absorbing most of the energy throughout his body. She goes down head first. It'll strike whatever is around, the floor, sharp edges, etc. The helmet is the best solution to avoid an unwanted ER visit.

His opinion now is risk benefit assessment. She is high risk and so gets the skull nerfing. Buddy, low risk, may not ever need it.

And you can deride his over protectiveness.
