Junior was running around the other day with her foot in a cup yelling "AAARGH! AAARGH! AAARGH!" Apparently, she was a pirate.

She's also certifiably insane.

 

[snickerd3]

Who didn't do that as a kid?

 

[Supe]

*Raises hand*

 

[snickerd3]

no imagination!!! we would give ourselves pirate hook hands by pulling our shirt sleeves down and tying around a stick or other hand replacement, put our feet in cups or buckets to get the peg leg effect...

I was more a mini-MacGuyver. I used to set booby traps all over the house.

try doing that with a 4yr old on one foot and a 6yr old on the other...

 

[snickerd3]

those with boys...does that lack of fear get smaller? Minisnick is very trusting that we are behind him to catch...he will turn around and basically throw himself backwards towards us. Took a head to my jaw last night thanks to that...was so not ready to catch.

but this is the same kid that will scream blood murder if put in a swing...go figure

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

My daughter is absolutely fearless, and I have not seen any sign of that fear diminishing. My son on the other hand has mellowed out a bit, but if he knows you're there to catch him, he'll still let go.

My niece was like that until she was 2 or 3. She would jump off of anything if she was reasonably sure that there was an adult in the area. She didn't really care where she landed or what damage she did to you as log as she didn't get hurt.

Took the family to Disney on my last R&R. My 5 year old's favorite was Space Mountain. Rode it 12 times in 2 days, hence, I rode it 12 times in 2 days. The other one who's 3 wouldn't have anything to do with it. I think we might have traumatized him that first day when we got him on Thunder Mountain by telling him it was a "train ride".

 

[MA_PE]

when my kids were 5 and 3 went to Disney. the 5yo rode the twilight zone Tower of Terror with me. He would've done great except the 10 screaming teenage girls riding in the same elevator car with us scared the crap out of him.

One of the first rides we went on in Epcot was the "boat ride" in Norway. The dark tunnels and sudden drops ruined the 3 yo. He didn't want to go on or in any drak rides after that.

FWIW, neither of my two boys were very big on just flinging themselves around expecting that someone would catch them. I was glad about that.

My 5 yo says his favorite ride was Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom, but half way thru the ride he said, "Dad, hold on to me!"

My 3 yo says her favorite was Splash Mountain.

Well, it's time to start bubble wrapping and kid proofing everything in the house... mobility of mini-OSU is now the highlight of her day... She rolls anywhere and everywhere she can... and over the weekend, she figured out how to sit up from her tummy... which she promptly turned into a trip to the toy box/basket and began removing everything out of it one thing at a time... so tonight the baby gates get installed, and Mrs OSU has begun the quest for a TV stand that has glass doors...

 

[snickerd3]

the extent of our baby proofing was a gate at the top of the stairs, outlet covers, and a latch on the lazy susan cabinet in the kitchen which has the meds and stuff in it. everything else we left or moved dangerous stuff to high shelves. we are more houseproofing the baby folks than baby proofing the house. When we visit other homes they wont have that stuff so if he gets used to not touching it helps.

having the latch thing on the one cabinet actually diverts his opening attention to that cabinet. he ignores the others.

My 6 yr old had his first T-ball practice last night. He was so excited about it that he was basically bouncing off of the walls before and afterward.
