Have you ever seen a dog take off running around the coffee table at full speed over and over and over again? Or observed an insect trapped in a closed space? Then you have some idea of how Austin looked last night.
After dinner, I took him to his room where he would normally play with his toys while I prepare his bath. Last night, I put him in the floor where he proceeded to launch himself into a full on belly flop right into the middle of the room! Splat! He was doing his best Superman imitation. Then, in an unusually coordinated movement, he pulled his knees up under him and crawled to the other side of the room where he did another belly flop, pop up, turn around, and off to the other side of the room. Dallas got in one corner of the room, and I got in the other. Over and over again, Austin raced across the room, belly flopped right as he got to us, pulled himself up, and was off again. Dallas got KeyKey out, and Austin put it in overdrive. New routine. Belly flop, grab KeyKey, sit up, giggle, hug KeyKey, race to the other side of the room where KeyKey magically appeared (after being tossed by Mommy or Daddy). Giggle. Laugh. Splat. Squeal. Splat.
Oh my word! I would have given anything to have been there to see that. Where's the video cam when you need it.
