So....my son took a leap today believing he could fly~ He couldn't, as he soon learned. He hit the steps and got banged up. In spite of it all, through the tears I could see he was really happy. Odd. This was not his first "flight." Just one that had more severe consequences than the others *Sigh*..
It did get me to thinking about childrens' inherent need to fly. More so little boys than girls. They also will not accept 'no' for an answer..No matter how big of a 'fail' they will surely be out there again trying to fly.....Where does that ambition and drive go when we get to being adults? As adults some of us are determined and will keep trying until we get it others try once or twice and they are done..just give up. Where is their inner Superman? *uugh visual of someone in cape and tights that does not need to rock that* Just a thought...and more importantly why dont the boys take a clue from the girls and cut that out..its much easier on moms heart lol

Ok, so maybe I'm guilty of taking a leap or two. But, is that really so bad. Your son likes to take risks and there's nothing wrong with that as long as he learns that you only take 'calculated' risks...after a certain age, being reckless is no longer acceptable.
