TFD

From his birth til this birthday, the worry was, what could you do to him? Now you're entering the phase in which you worry about what he could do to himself. Not quite sure when that phase ends. It's been going on 14 years for my boy and I'm beginning to think it never stops.

I can remember with great clarity the birth of all 3 of my kids... my oldest son (5 yrs.) just finished his first season of T-Ball. He begged me to take him to see the Phillies-Rockies (his team was the Phillies of course). He watches Dodger games with me, asks poignant questions, and then asks if we can go outside and play catch... life is good!

I haven't actually done that, but when my oldest son was 5 mos. old I flipped him out of his car seat carrier and he proceded to land flat on his face. I was horrified and my wife nearly killed me.

However, to this day he keeps his eye on the ball and is not afraid of it hitting him. I attribute this to my gross negligence and which goes to show that everything happens for a reason. :)

three whaps?

man, jon. you need to work on your reflexes.

i did the same thing over there at lacma when my daughter was 9 months. we were in the children's wing, and i put her on my shoulders and walked her into a heating duct and split her lip.

it took two weeks for the cut to heal and go away, but it seemed like two years.

congratulations, jon.

So you can understand the problem ...
