...Of my life that is. Ava decided to scare the crap out of me this morning:
I was taking my rings off beside my night stand in preparation for going to the water park today. I sat Ava on the bed, slid my wedding rings off, held her onesie with my left hand while placing the rings on the table.
The easiest mental image I can give you of how she jumped off my bed (and out of my grasp) is that she looked like a flying squirrel. Flat out, belly flop style flying leap of faith. "I had my hand on her!" I kept saying to myself, as she seamed to float gracefully through the air. And plop! I expected the worst. She'd managed to face plant into a pillow. A perfect 10 point landing. I froze- she's usually pretty tough so I didn't want to scare her into a crying fit.
She sat up and looked at me... and then said, "Hey!".

Sounds as if she is as resilient as her mama! Have fun today!
HEY! I love it! Sounds like you've got a pretty cool kid there.
YIKES! Glad the pillow was in the perfect spot! Hope you didn't lose too many years on that one!
That is exactly why I have to dye my hair now. My kid's crazy stunts have given me a few gray hairs. I'm too young for grays!
Wow, that would scare me too. Good thing the pillow was there.
That's awesome that she actually had a landing pad. Even more awesome that she didn't cry. Doran took a dive off of the sofa last week and it wasn't pretty. He didn't really get hurt, but he landed face-first on the floor and cried so hard. I reacted as calmly as I could but inside I was so scared. What are we going to do with these flying babies?
Woah.... I am going to stick Kris on you (CPS). JUST KIDDING GIRL... I am so glad she is ok... I can't imagine how scary that was. At least you know she has some good acrobatic skills!!!
