Pulling Himself Up That Far?

Hunter snapped this picture. Regina & I are skeptical that Wyatt got to this position on his own, but Hunter insists that he did.

 

Brother to the Rescue

Wyatt found a stray Lego piece way underneath the armoire yesterday afternoon. His brothers were in the living room while mama was in another part of the house for only a minute. Forest, 7, saw Wyatt put the Lego into his mouth. Forest leapt up from the couch and proceeded to save his baby brother from disaster. Wyatt simultaneously resisted and gagged on the small plastic toy. Forest's intruding fingers caused his brother to throw up. The Lego piece shot out, along with icky baby food and milk. Mama came back in the room right as the boys started worrying about the mess that had been made on the floor. Hunter told her what had just happened and she was not worried about the mess at all. Regina texted me about Forest's heroic actions. I promptly called home and loaded lots of praise upon my middle son for saving his baby brother. As reward for his actions, I told Forest that he would have dinner at his favorite restaurant – Fuji Japanese steakhouse.
