Fearless

Eli Going Down the Big Slide

Eli has no fear. He constantly getting himself into situations that he has not thought all the way through. He and Walker are complete opposites in this area.

Our favorite park has a set of pretty high slides. Walker loves to walk the top and then walk back down. He has not dared to slide down the super slides.

Eli follows Walker all over the park and usually takes whatever limits Walker sets.

Not this week.

Shortly after we arrived on Tuesday, Eli marched up to the top of the slide (at which point I panicked), sat down on his bottom and slid down. Half way down he turned over on to his tummy and got upset for just a second, but was happy by the time reached the bottom.

This is the little one that will have us in the ER and give me gray hair.

Like trying to do a sky dive through the stair banisters and causing uncle matt's hair to turn gray.

This is exactly what I say about Reid too! We may want to rethink letting the two of them hang out much. I'm not sure how well fearless & fearless mesh!
