lift off

we've had company the past weekend and so matt and i were sleeping downstairs on the aerobed. i had stripped it of it's bedding but it was still half inflated. as i was putting away the groceries uninterupted i was hearing isaiah and alaythia playing in the other room. never did i imagine i would see what i did when i walked around the corner.

my fearless daughter was hanging half way off the bed. isaiah was poised on top of the slide. he had pushed it flush with the bed. she stared at him, motionless, awaiting his pounce. he screamed, jumped into the air and landed on the bed. on cue alaythia flew - entire body - into the air and landed again in the same position she left in. a quick moment of silence to make sure the other was okay, a bit of shock in there too i'm sure, and then they both erupted into laughter...

people, they are 3 and 1 and he's already launching her into the air...and even more scary...she likes it!

How fun! I wonder how they figured that out? Get out the video camera, Mom!

May the Lord continue to bless their relationship with love and friendship.
