this was a funny little scenario down in Florida
Dean was flying a kite for the first time
he would hang onto the cord
get bored
and let the spool of thread go and fly away
then alert me that the kite was getting away
thus forcing me to chase after the string and try to recover the crashing kite
this was a cycle that we went through 4 or 5 times before it was estabished that the swing and the slide were better options than the kite for a 2 and half year old
