Wow. I was always thought the middle child was supposed to get screwed but not at our house. In our house the youngest wears Christmas pajama’s in May, gets his hair cut in the backyard and he plays with a Buzz Lightyear that is literally a stump – no arms or legs left. It is just a barrel shaped body and get this, it does not even have a head – but it DOES have buttons that you can push and it still makes noise.
My poor sweet Abbott get’s bulldozed by his brother and sister on a daily basis and he just takes it…all of it. They use him as a pillow, drag him around by his feet and just yesterday Eden sat on his head and he barely flinched.
After Miss Eden used him as a bean bag, she decided to turn it up a notch as my guy was attempting to climb up the slide….yes, up. Why is it that all kids want to go up the slide more than they want to go down?
Then it happened, she went down the slide with full force gusto and clocked the poor little guy into Tuesday. He literally flew through the air. What was Mommy doing? Taking photos….I did not see it coming but by the look on his petrified face, he saw it and knew there was no turning back.
The blurred feet might be my favorite part. It really accentuates the visual…
After I picked him up and dusted the poor guy off, he got right back on the horse and started right up that slide again. Nothing fazes this guy. He is one tough cookie. The best part is that one day he is going to get his brother and sister back. They are tiny short little shrimps and My guy Abbs has been off the charts since birth. He is my giant buttery guy who happens to be covered in bruises…and graham cracker crumbs.
This made me giggle and smile. What a cutie!
