No Flight Yet, Please

Sam wasn't too thrilled when Matilda started crawling. She was always in his way and in his stuff. She drove him nuts. Thankfully they are having a lot more fun with her walking. They play together a lot. Recently Sam got out his little push fire truck he got for his first birthday. Not for Tilda, of course, but to zoom around on himself. Matilda likes to "push" from behind.

The first time they did this I thought it was so cute. Sam waited for Tilda to make it over to him and grasp the back of the truck. My amusement turned to fear when Sam then turned to face forward, looking determined. "Okay, Tidda," he said. "Hang on tight!"

Thankfully I made it across the room in record time and stopped Sam from shooting down the hallway with Matilda flying behind him. For now this buzz-kill mama is only happy when everyone's feet are on the ground!
