Will He Ever Learn?


I wonder if Parker is ever going to learn how to walk up and down stairs properly. Actually, I'd be happy if he just learned to walk across a parking lot without falling! Last Sunday we were walking across the parking lot to church. There was a car that was waiting for us to cross in front of him. Parker was running, tripped right in front of the car and fell. Carson wasn't watching where he was going (very normal) and fell on top of Parker! I had all this stuff in my arms and was trying to help everybody up and calm Parker down, all the while this guy in his car is patiently waiting for us to get our act together.

Last night Parker wanted to go in the backyard. There are 4 cement steps that you have to walk down in order to get to the cement patio below. I watched as he took the first unsteady step (very normal for him) and then I couldn't believe the horror that followed: He fell down all 4 steps onto the patio below...on his FACE! It was so sad! He cried for like 15 seconds and then was very happy after that. Go figure.

Even today at Carson's school he tripped and fell in the parking lot... this too shall pass!
