Ella turned 9 recently. When asked what she wanted for her birthday, the first thing she listed every time was a pogo stick. I was somewhat hesitant to let her have one. Why? I know someone who broke his leg while pogo-ing. I would love to cover all three of my children in bubble wrap from head to toe. Knock on wood...none of them have had any broken bones thus far, but I know it is always a possibility. Hopefully, Ella's birthday present won't lead to any broken bones.
She's wiry and doesn't have enough mass to make the pogo really get going. It's more of an Allegro bounce.
It sure has made her happy though.
Bounce on, sweet girl.
