Evil Knievel Child

Last night Sophia was on her way to giving me a heart attack. She still likes to ride the rocking horse that her Auntie Vicky gave her for Christmas last year. Only now not only does she try to rock standing up but also without holding on to the handles. She was also rocking on it so hard (while actually hanging on) that she nearly tipped backwards. Maybe I’ll rethink my stance on bicycle helmets.

    I could do a whole post on dare devil Chloe. A whole post. Climbing the stair treads…from the outside!!! Jumping in the pack and play Dukes of Hazard Style…Dancing on the dining room table (How the hell did she get up there)…Standing oin the back of her bouncing zebra to get to the top of her kitchen…Hanging from the front shutters…Climbing the front of our huge a$$ armoir. Wait…I could do a whole post on dare devil Chloe..LOL These kids are fearless. I swear I’ve had a mini heart attack already.

    Susan Anderson – Whoa! That’s a lot more risky than Sophia. This is probably her one major dare devil feat.

    glad she loves the horse but nikka got her that lol i got her the inch worm.. is she big enough to make it work yet?

    She sits on it and pushes herself around the house, making a wonderful clicking noise as the wheels rotate. But she can’t bounce on it and make it inch. I push down on her shoulders and make her inch across the floor. She likes that alot.

    Auntie Vicky: She was playing on the inch worm a lot when I was there in September/October. She’s big enough to sit on it, but not heavy enough to make it work. But it’s funny to watch her with it, anyway.

    I like the idea of a bubble-wrapped house… *imagines pop-pop-popping everywhere just for the fun of it*

    Haha, great picture! Children have to explore the world, you shouldn#t wrap them in cotton.

    Laura – Thank you, and thanks for the visit. I would never dream of wrapping her in cotton. It would get too hot in the summer. LOL ;-)
