free-falling

Myles is pretty fond of the outdoors; especially the dirt and rocks. He crawls around looking for disgusting things to put into his mouth :). Yesterday, I was outside with him, and Jared called. I turned my back on Myles while I was talking [first mistake], and he climbed our chain link fence. When I turned around, his feet were about 12 inches off the ground, and he was hanging by one hand. I got to him right as he fell. Luckily, he landed on his hands and knees, but his feelings were hurt.
He also had two teeth cut through his gums yesterday. I can still see one more tooth that is almost through, and I'm hoping once it emerges, my son's normally cheerful personality will emerge along with it.
Today's been not so good- Morgen's having difficulties with a piano piece [read: playing the same wrong note over and over, and crying when I stop her and correct her], and Walker stole some fruit snacks and lied to me when I caught him. *sigh* And it's raining, so I can't send them outside. When Cali's pups disobey her, she grabs them with her mouth and growls at them. Sometimes I feel like growling at my kids...

haha! so many things about this post made me laugh! So Myles is a monkey child too? Must be a crazy genetic thing, lol. I do growl at my kids, I'm afraid...I must get better about doing that. I hope Myles feels better soon!

Hey, growling at your kids wouldn't be so bad. But how about grabbing them with your mouth? That would teach them a lesson.

And Valerie is going to be a Cowgirl.

(that would make me the horse...)
