Last week, I got a great picture of my son in motion. The kids were all outside; I was busy snapping pictures of them in the magnolia tree they’d swarmed. Bubbles in particular loves climbing trees, so it was no surprise to see him in it, but the others spent almost as much time in it as he did.
Eventually, Miss Tadpole and Thumper started posing for the pictures, and I got a couple of really nice shots of them. Then Cricket joined in the fun. Not to be outdone, Bubbles joined them in all his silliness.
He spent five minutes horsing around in various states of upside-downness, but at last, his shoe gave way, and down he went. Unfortunately, my shutter finger wasn’t quick enough to catch his shoe as it followed him to the ground (with a brief layover atop his head).
It wasn’t the first time he’d slipped out of a tree that afternoon, and it wasn’t the last, but it was definitely the funniest. What can I say? He inherited his butterfingers from me. 🙂

And Bubbles excels at it. I think he inherited two left feet from me, too – I’ve been known to walk into desks, walls, and doors. It’s not that I’m clumsy, of course – it’s just that the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies, and the walls get in my way. 😉

Obviously your mind is otherwise occupied Kay, the house doesn’t really hate you. Or does it??? I have two left feet and for the life of me I think they point backwards too. 🙂

No, I suppose it doesn’t. I have a shirt with that printed on it, though, and given my clumsy nature, I found it hilarious. 🙂

One has to be able to laugh at one’s clumsiness, before anyone else does. 🙂

Agreed. I laugh at myself daily, for that reason as well as others. 🙂
