Hanging in There

by Sharon on February 16, 2010

Faith.

Wondering how far the fall is going to be.

Hope.

Hoping that God is still there to catch you.

Love.

How are we to know that the floor is just two inches below our toes?

These three, but the greatest is Love

(I suppose other moms wouldn’t have let their son hang off the edge of the hotel bed for three minutes why they ponder the symbolism of life’s little moments. Poor Little Guy)

I’m joining in for Wordful Wednesday at Seven Clown Circus

I had to smile big at this! I probably would’ve let my kid hang long enough for me to get a good photo. Wait! I have done that! :)

Awww, sweet boy. But you knew he was ok and sometimes it is best to let them learn on their own. Or at least that is what my husband keeps telling me.

Besides, sometimes we have to fall so that we can be caught. I can ponder too.

I guess it’s just one of those fun little quirks of toddlerhood, huh? But oh, what a fun stage it is!!

Well, the picture is absolutely adorable and as for the thoughts – well, I am pretty blown away. That is incredibly powerful. Thanks for it.

I love the picture. I’ve seen my own children sleeping in the weirdest positions also including the dinner table, potty, and all sorts of strange positions. So, don’t feel bad. I’m thankful that they’re so content that they can do that. If they didn’t feel safe and content they’d be hiding somewhere like a closet or something.

my 2 year old grandson looks kind of like that — I mean you always see his back side running away from you preparing to get into something or climbing something.

Now that he is out of diapers he can climb much faster. Its scary.

Very well said. But I guess he is trusting you. He is so adorable by the way!

How cute!!! They fall asleep in the strangest places! My step-son is notorious for this. He fell asleep while getting his hair cut (I had to hold his head until the lady was done) and he fell asleep in his macaroni and cheese, face first!

hahaha. That’s hilarious! Last week I let my DS dangle on the edge of a toy bin he was falling into so I could snap a picture… I think it’s a photographer thing :)
