• Just a few more gray hairs.

  
  

  Jer is going to specialize in toasting angels.  I *know* this.

  
  

  This afternoon I left him happily playing on the deck while I walked less then fifty feet away to go to the garage.  Usually he bumbles down the stairs and follows me.  I grabbed the chicken and was heading back when all of a sudden I hear him screaming.

  
  

  Zeria was closer (about 20 feet)  and screamed herself.  I assumed he had fallen off the stairs (again)  He will eventually figure out he needs to go down stomache first.  There's only three of them, so I haven't been too worried.

  
  

  He hadn't.  He'd gotten down the stairs quite nicely, and gone to play in the fish pond.  It is about half empty, and currently sitting above ground, as we haven't planted it in the dirt since we moved. 

  
  

  Anyhow, he wanted a stick or something that was in it, and leaned over too far and fell in head first.  Its two-and-a-half feet deep normally.  

  
  

  He went in HEAD first.  I said that right.  But fortunately he didn't completely panic, and managed to get his head back above water.

  
  

  I was the one who panicked when I realized what had happened.  And the fish pond has been completely emptied and is in storage.  It will remain there until further notice.  Its not getting planted in the dirt.  Not until next summer, or the summer after.

  
  

  Man, so very very very close.  When would I have noticed if he hadn't screamed???  God is entirely too good to me.

  
  

  And...ya know I think he's gonna break more angels in then Samuel did.  And Samuel was AWFUL.   And I am no longer leaving him out of my sight EVER.  LOL

  
  

  Not until he's like 35.  *snicker*

  
  

  I'm making a joke, cause I'm sick to my stomache.  I can't believe how close we came to loosing him today.
