One, Twooooo, THREE!

Or, as Lucas says it, "Uh, ooooooohh, EE!"

Jeff and I have a somewhat dangerous (but fun) game that we've created with Lucas. It started when he and Jeff took swimming lessons. Jeff would sit him on the side of the pool and count to three and then Lucas would jump to him. Lucas took this game out of the pool and would jump in our arms anytime he was sitting on the edge of a surface. Now Lucas counts along with us and then jumps. He does it at the playground when he is standing at the top of the slide (we're working on teaching him to slide down instead), when he is sitting on the kitchen island, and when he is standing on the couch.

Last night we were in the process of putting post-bath diaper and PJ's on. Lucas had run out of his room and was in the family room with Jeff and Tyson. I came around the corner just in time to see Jeff sitting with his back against the couch watching t.v., Tyson laying beside him, and Lucas standing on the couch behind him. As I rounded the corner I heard Lucas say, "Uh, ooooooohh", and then as I heard "EE!" I saw my naked son, with his arms raised high in the air, free fall from the couch down right on top of his brother, Tyson. If there had been judges present he would have gotten a perfect 10 for his form. Unfortunately there were no judges there, but we were happy that Tyson was there to break his fall (sorry Tyson). We thought Lucas knew that we had to be paying attention when he started counting... guess not. Hopefully he learned his lesson, although there weren't many tears, so maybe not.

That is so funny... Laiq used to that, but he always jumped or rather "slid off" the couch at two. Lucas sounds like he's a whole lot of fun, we need to get together.
