As a mom there are certain phrases that you DO NOT want to hear:
Hey look! No hands!
Uh oh!
What's that?
Mom's not gonna like this....
I didn't do it!
Shhh! Don't tell mom!
These are just a few. What is more interesting is watching your beloved child perform such acts of mischief, and capturing said mischief on video. I was witness to just such an event just the other day.
As my oldest watched the video she had exclamations of "Oh no! Please no! Did he hurt himself? You were filming this?!? He could have died!!"

We did NOT have to go to the emergency room, however, this little stunt proved to me that I do in fact have a very active, normal little boy!
As I was watching this I had two main thoughts; 1st if he were mine if be having a heart attack, than after watching and realizing he was OK; 2nd at least he's not trying russ on the big slide. But if I'm being completely honest I don't think I could've just watched this unfold, I would've freaked and stopped it because I worry, and in reflection of that fact how much fun and creativity do I prevent my kids from having because of my over protective paranoia. This was an amazing share thank you
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean to cause any heart attacks with anyone, Scott watched the first run down the slide then told me I should be filming this. It is amazing the creativity our children have and can express when we let them do it. Sometimes it is better to let them try and fail then not to try at all. That is the only way they are going to learn how to do "life".
ReplyDeleteSo true and something I need to work on
