Seen and Overheard

Seen:
One small boy hanging over the side of the slide, at the very top. He wasn't yelling or crying. Just hanging there by his fingertips, looking at me like "Ummm, this seemed like a good idea at the time..." Lucky for him he has quick reflexes and very strong arms. I think maybe he was showing off for Liam and a playmate, and thought he'd just swing right over the side.

Also seen: One small boy, with a bedside table on top of him. This time he was crying. I have anticipated many pieces of furniture that could fall on top of this boy, but have to admit, I didn't see that one coming. It's a short table, and it seems pretty stable. But...apparently when you open the drawer and then try to climb into it from the bed, it becomes a bit less stable. No injuries though, except probably pride.

Overheard:
One little girl, on the way to a bounce house/play area:
"Mom, do you think Owen might get lost at the Play Center?"
Me: "No, I don't think so."
"But maybe he could."
Me, realizing what she is saying: "No, we would not let him get lost. We would find him."
sighhhhhh...."Even if we had to use a microscope, huh?" (Dejectedly.)
Me: "Yes, even if we had to use a microscope."

Ours boys are SO much a like!!! We had our 1st emergancy with Bruiser last week. And yesterday I took the twins to the local park. There is a pretty high curvy slide that I don't let them go on (because I'm afaid he will hang over). This was our 1st time there without the older kids and guess who flew up the steps to the curvy slide. We went home after that LOL
