Then my dad got remarried and the baby stepsister rebelled a lot about her padding and such so finally my dad gave in, she busted her assbone and then she quit doing anything on wheels and stuck to running around. Ok, that was a lot of rambling.

I'm really most worried about their heads. I think I was scarred for life by the fact that a friend of the family died after whacking his head while skateboarding years ago. I'm sure I will lighten up on the other gear. He actually skipped the wrist guards because they were too unwieldy for him. That was a big step!! :D This is, of course, my kid with the danger gene. He was walking at 9.5 months and has the scars all over his face to prove he was also climbing bookshelves at the same age. *sigh* I really should get on those copies.

As the mother of 2.5 risk-loving, speed-loving boys (one of my three is not as risky) I failed miserably to keep all the pads on their bodies. I threatened, whined, and then gave up and made photocopies of my health insurance card for each car. So let us know how long the full pads last.
