Rough and Tumble

The very thing that makes me weak in the knees is what Addison is doing constantly - climbing, running, jumping and not always landing on his feet.
This picture was taken after playing in a hand built fort - sheets and chairs were the building materials - his head hit the chair while trying to pull it all down.
I can't keep this rough and tumble little guy still. He is mastering the art of climbing up dressers, hanging from drawers, jumping from the couch. This is all in a days play. And many wonder why I am always taking him for walks and playtime in big open fields - nothing to get hurt on.
I love being a mom to a little boy that will one day grow up to be a man. But for now, my knees quiver just a bit when he falls, my heart leaps within me when he cries in the middle of the night and my nerves get on edge when he is just too much to handle. That's what it means to be a mom though!
