Dare Devil

Jackson is such a dare devil these days. Actually, I can't really act like it's new. Last night Gaga came over and Jackson was doing his usual jumping off of the coffee table either onto us or onto the floor to belly flop. He started doing this weird thing where he would shake his arms and move his shoulders and his body back and forth. He was dancing for sure but in the strangest way. Then he started jumping off of the coffee table again. Again never with any warning but this time he was jumping BACKWARDS. Yes, backwards. That is my son whom I adore and who makes my blood pressure rise a little each day.
Anyway, part of our bedtime routine is to watch 5 minutes of the Presidents Day episode of the Ellen show. Jackson loves the dancing and the talent on that particular episode. Anyway, as soon as we turned it on we realized that the shoulder thing he was doing was the Ellen dance. It was hysterical and he started doing it agian as soon as it came on the TV.
Today he was doing his jumping again but this time off of the stool in the front yard. I was doing my best to catch him as he randomly catapulted towards me but he was getting very frustrated. He then laid down on the concrete and let me know he was upset b/c he wanted to belly flop like he does inside the house. Dear Lord-please let this precious child not do so many things that can permanently damage his body!


Here is Jackson not appreciating me bringing him in after saying no to the concrete diving.



At first he was not excited about me putting pillows on the floor for him to jump into.



Those dimples get this little guy out of a lot of trouble.




Here's an action shot of Jackson mid jump:)
