So the wife and i are sitting in the living room tonight, watching Food Network and playing chess. Our 3 yr old likes to lay at the top of the stairs and kinda peek down into the living room when he doesn't want to go to sleep. We usually ignore it until he makes it more obvious that he's not in bed and then bring him back in bed. his happens about 2 or 3 times at the beginning of bedtime.
Well, tonight he made it very obvious. First he dropped his Clifford stuffed animal down the stairs. Then he dropped himself.
i heard the first tumblings and was in the middle of getting up when he fell down the rest of the way. And in that moment i saw one of those images that just defies logic and physics and at the same time burns into your brain as if daring you to figure out if that's actually what you saw. i swear it looked like he was doing a cartwheel down the last half of the stairs. Arms and legs all fanned out away from his body, tumbling in a near perfect circle for a split second.
He was fine. Bumped his ear a little. No concussion. He cried a bit but it was more from the fear of what just happened and also being scared by my wife's shout when she saw him come down.- stuntbabyPonyBoy
