Parks and Slides

My baby boy is obsessed with parks and slides right now. They are the most coolest thing in the world to him. He is always asking me to take him to the park. He says "mommy... swide?" (his word for "slide"). Donovan and I always try to take him to the park every weekend. He loves to swing, he loves to go down the slides and he loves to climb up and down the stairs to the slides.

This past weekend my Mom had taken him to the park behind her house. Donovan and I were watching him play on the slides through her back window. He climbed up the tallest and biggest slide there. My Moms husband had went to the bottom of the slide to wait for him to come down. Liam decided to turn around and go back down the stairs. Next thing I know I am watching my son do a head dive from the top of an eight foot slide. I ran for my life. I ran so fast around the block my flip flops came off. Donovan scaled two six foot walls to get to him. He was OK- thank the Lord. But he sure did scrape up his face and now has a black eye. His babysitter asked him "Liam what happened?" He told her "fell down swide".

As soon as he was done crying he went right back to that eight foot slide like nothing ever happened.

Liam's ouchie

My little boy is a two year old dare devil. As his mother I am NOT prepared for more falls and spills. My hair is turning grey thinking about it. Ughhhhhhh.
