BUBBLE WRAP

I actually put bubble wrap in my kid's Christmas stocking.

Here's the back story (and you know, there's *always* a back story). My kid played hockey up until he left West Point. During Beast, he was injured and required surgery. And then another surgery. So he was sent home on a year long medical leave of absence to heal, do his PT and then get fit enough to pass the APFT. Of course the minute he was feeling better, he wanted to ski and rock climb, etc. The bubble wrap in his stocking was in jest - but only kinda. It was a hard year for him being home and being a cadet but not really a cadet. It's not an experience I'd recommend avoiding if possible.
 
My DS chose his activities wisely....walked away from social situations that could have negatively impacted him and physically trained for USNA like it was his JOB. I guess he bubble wrapped himself????? Nothing was going to stand in the way of IDay!
 
Made the mistake of mentioning to DD that perhaps she consider only running events in track this spring..........uh................negative!!
