We all had so much fun yesterday, we decided to do it every week. Parents, bring your chilluns to Ft. Kid on Tuesdays at 2PM.


There are pictures up on Lily's Xanga from yesterday: Click Here

See ya there!

It's a really sweet photo but I'd prefer Ro's picture not be up on the web.

Just out of curiosity... why?

I wish I could bring Kieran, but he doesn't get out of Montessori school till 2:30 and even if I didnt have to go back to work after I drop him off at daycare I couldnt get there till about 3ish.

*sniff*

I wanna play!

Swing some for me

Well, yesterday some of us were there until 3:45-4:00. So if you wanted to, you could still come about 3 o 'clock.

I know I've mentioned that here recently - fairiegirl is aware of and respects it - but I, and many other people, feel that putting a child's picture on the web is just too inviting, particularly when you add a name, a place they'll be, and exactly when they'll be there...

It's one of those big DON"Ts police tell you for child safety, like not writing their name on the outside of their jacket or t-shirt.

In other words, I'm one of those people who wear my seatbelt every time, and make my kids buckle in too, even though I'm not really expecting to have a wreck.

Different strokes for different folks. I'd imagine that if someone was hell bent on abducting your childe, they'd just stake you out at any of the many public functions we all attend for the info needed to know whos kid is whos. (shrug)

Ok, so no posting pictures of JaNell's brood please.

That came off as a bit snarky, Arkady. I don't publically mock, however mildly, your child rearing choices, and I'd like the same from you. I'm sure that Erin removed the picture as soon as she read it, without the need for anyone making a declaration about it aimed at making me look paranoid. Nice.

Gone.

its unfortunate, but the "week day - middle of the day" is pretty hard on parents who work. I can't possibly ever make that time slot either, so I guess you can just tell Lily that Nick loves her.

i hope you are paranoid. no, really. if a little bit of paranoia may - just may - prevent some faceless psycho from abducting your kid, then i think it's worth a grey hair or two.

often the worst cases of child abductions - serial murder and/or rape and what have you - are perpetrated by the people you least expect. and just as often, by the kind of people you'd never think of commiting such atrocious crimes.

the guy at the deli, or the woman at the pharmacy, or the waitress at that restaurant you often like to take the kids to.

in fact, most victims of serial killing have known their murderers on a first name basis.

so uh, yeah. be a little bit paranoid. keep your kids safe. anyone who sits down and really thinks about this will agree - there's nothing wrong with it.

believe me, it all seems worthwhile when it saves your ass.

Ya, I know. The reason that particular day and time was chosen is because Kimmie is just there at that time each week, due to her school schedule. So, I said, "Well, let's just do this every week, then." Maybe we can get something going on the weekend, as well, when it warms up a bit more. Of course, I don't have my baby on most weekends....

Scheduling, blah.

I keep hearing about this playdate for kids at ft kids. Does this still go on? Is everyone invited? and where is ft kid?

Sadly I think that most of the principals have stopped going, but perhaps it can be restarted with la little effort. Fort Kid is a playground near the Candy factory, KMA, and the 11st expresso House where many of us meet on Friday evenings. Everyone is invoted to the coffee shop and sometime parents bring their children. If you want to bring your kid out to play with some of the other goth offspring, youcould post a thread here in upcoming events saying when was a good time for you and where...I'm sure that if possible a number of people will show up with kids in tow.
