The impressive stack of cushions atop our basement couch makes me cringe
but giggles are contagious.
“I’m on top of the world!”
“I is not afwaid of anyfing!”
“I… like… pink.”
Superhero capes wave behind as they leap to toy towers.
There is much to be cleaned and stopped and quieted.
I slide rough edges and plastic toys from their landing and cushion the floor with blankets and sleeping bags.
Returning to my laundry basket, I head back upstairs.
Who am I to interrupt a flying lesson?

Thanks Jenn, I sort of think so too :).
Darcie says
I wrote about flying lessons on my blog once, too. Those moments are the best.
Jessica says
They are, I’m trying to learn, as they get older to let them make mistakes and not try to fix everything but it’s so hard.

Never ever interrupt a flying lesson. I love this.
Jessica says
I’m trying not to interrupt the “lessons” although it is so tempting to swoop in and fix everything for them.
Barbara says
So cute, I love their capes!
Jessica says
Thanks, I found them a while back and they weren’t very interested in them so I was so disappointed. All the sudden they love them so I’m thrilled.

Indeed, one can’t interrupt a flying lesson, even if it is enough to make your heart stop. They look so cute.
Jessica says
I’m trying to learn to let them “fly” a little bit more although I might need something for my anxiety if they get much more daring :).
Ginger Kay says
Those are beautiful capes, perfect for flying.

James is a climber and a jumper. He scares me to death. I came home from being out of town on Wednesday to find a “landing zone” of pillows in the living room. At least he was thinking about it.
Jessica says
Yes, thank goodness for the “landing zone.” My boys routinely give me a heart attack.

That’s all we can do, yes? Cushion the falls. ๐ By the way, LOVE the capes.
Jessica says
Thanks, they got them for Christmas last year (from zulily on sale ๐ ) and weren’t really impressed. Now all of the sudden lately they love them and want to wear them all the time.
Shell says
So fun! Hard to put a stop to that!
Jessica says
Especially when they are actually playing in their playroom which doesn’t happen very often.

So cute! Santa is bringing the kids superhero capes this Christmas ๐ I try to let them play by themselves, too. It’s funny that I get so frustrated with not having alone time at times, and then when they’re finally playing nicely, I feel guilty like I should do more. What is THAT about?
Jessica says
Santa brought our capes last year :).
