Sliding with Daddy - Halloween 2009

Daddy: I blew it. We were in Arizona visiting Papa and Nana, and during the day we visited a harvest festival. And there was a slide. (You loved slides and would always do the sign for "slide" and "swings.") Papa was standing right next to me, egging me to let you go full speed instead of barely holding onto you. So I did...I let you slide. And you went down fast and loved it until your diapered tushy hit the carpet and the back of your head hit the slide and you cried. I tried to comfort you, but you got up right away, pushed away from me, and ran back to the ladder. You were ready to go again.

Posture Ball Potty - October 2009

You were with Mommy and Daddy at life group and walked past a posture ball chair (sans ball). It looked vaguely familiar to you, the circular hole in the middle made it look like your little throne away from home. We didn't realize what you thought until you squatted and did the "potty" sign. "Yes, Sarah, that looks like a giant potty."
