safety first

At the Carman house, we are clearly very safety conscious. A couple of weeks ago while I was cooking dinner, I heard hysterical laughing in the den. I peeked around the corner to see Mamie climbing up and over the back of the couch onto the bookshelf behind it, turning around backwards, and doing a back dive onto the couch. I immediately freaked out and fussed at her, thinking she was going to break her neck, and Lilly then informed me that it's Mamie's "trick." Great. So where have I been? Anyway, she knows she isn't supposed to do it anymore, but she sneaks and tries to do it whenever I am out of the room. I caught her doing this today while I was folding clothes.




I didn't capture the grand finale, but it ends with another back flip off the couch and onto the floor.

I must say she's quite flexible! I don't think I could do any tricks like that! Love the hinny shot! I'm afraid Merrill is going to be the wild one around here- something about being the little sister??

Now I know why she and Cade are such good friends! A couple of little monkeys!

She is hilarious! She has always been quite the little athlete. Knowing how stong and agile (I think that is the word I am looking for!) she is - I probably wouldn't worry! :)
