Today has been a good day. The best part? When Preston fell off the swing.
Yes, he’s fine. Yes, I laughed at him…but before you get all judge-y and stuff, HE was laughing too. And I did wait until I made sure he was ok before I laughed (mostly).
I decided that it would make the day even more fun to draw some illustrations for you. (I’ll never be able to do it as well as her, but it’s fun to try!)
So, here we are…I’m pushing the boys on the swing…see how happy we are?
And see how fast and high they are going?
And see how happy Preston is, specifically??
And then, SUDDENLY, the swing was EMPTY!!
Where’d he go??? *(Where’d WHO go?! – props to anyone who knows where that line comes from!!)
In the blink of an eye….
He flew out of the swing and landed flat on his back in the rubber mulch. As I ran over to him I said “You let go!!” And my boy, flat on the ground, just about to cry from the shock of flying through the air said “You PUSHED ME!!”
And that set me off. …
