Trust me

While the Lawyer and I were chopping down the Xmas tree, Frances asked Lewie if he wanted to do the "Trust Fall."
"Fall back Lewie, and I'll catch you, I promise."
"No way, I can't"


"Come on, Lew, just put your arms out like this and fall back."
"I can't."


"Ana, show him how you do it."


"DO IT LEW."
"OOOOOOO-KAY"
Success


I said to the Lawyer, "Fall back, I'll catch you." "Ummm, NO!"
Who would YOU trust to catch you???

That's darling. Q does the trust fall to us all the time...only she doesn't warn us first. She wants to know that we'll always jump to catch her. And she really does fall like timber, straight backward. The very first time she did it - into my lap about a month after she came home - I didn't realize what she was going to do, and I started to stand up just as she fell backward. My lap disappeared and her head hit the floor. Ever since then , we have always managed to catch her (even if it's only by the arm, and we have to do a baserunner's slide to do it) and she always grins when we do, as if to say...see? I knew you'd be there for me.
What a kid.
