Mason loves to throw things in the house. Unfortunately, I have no one to blame but myself. I MAY have indirectly taught him how. Oops. Anyway, I think that we have finally gotten him to stop throwing hard things like Hotwheel cars and various other toys. He got in trouble after one of his John Deere tractors bounced off the TV screen and again after I got smashed in the face with a small plastic CAT bulldozer.
We are now working on getting the throwing of soft stuff stopped. That task is a little more difficult since it is funny to see Monkey fly through my line of sight doing cartwheels. The scolding does not mean as much coming from someone chuckling. However, I think after a recent unfortunate incident involving Monkey, we will probably not see Monkey acting as a crash test dummy anymore.
I was, as usual, at work when this all went down but I was emailed pictures. I had to laugh to myself quietly at my desk. Apparently, Laura was in the kitchen when she heard Mason start a series of panicked screams. As she rushed to the living room, she was overcome with laughter. Mason was standing in the middle of the room under the ceiling fan with both hands covering his mouth screaming, crying, and looking up. There it was…Monkey…hanging from the pull cord on the ceiling fan. Apparently, Mason had been tossing Monkey in the air when it got stuck.
Realizing that Mason wasn’t hurt and finding the whole incident rather humorous,
Laura went and grabbed her camera. By the time she got back, Mason had crawled up on the table to rescue Monkey from his predicament. However, the rescue attempt did not go well being that Mason was still a little panicked. So, like any good parent, Laura took a few more pictures and got Monkey down. Mason cried for a good ten minutes and would NOT let Monkey out of his arms.
I have a feeling that Monkey’s wings have been clipped!
