Life's Tough Lessons

Ya know, life is full of hard lessons. Like, in order to succeed, you may have to fall a few times.

Today Addie turned herself around, let go of the ottoman, and stood leaning back against it looking out onto the whole livingroom just waiting to be explored. She hasn't yet developed the skills to stand like this, so it was inevitable that a hard life lesson was about to be learned. Namely, don't bite off more than you can chew.











WARNING: Grandparents may find the following picture alarming- view at your own risk!



I grabbed the camera to capture her standing against the ottoman and caught the following instead.



I know it looks pretty shocking.

Just to make you all feel a little better, here is a shot of her about one minute later. She is a tough little thing, huh?

May you all remember these lessons today and learn from Addie- first learn to stand on your own and THEN let go of your support.
