Boys will be boys

...and I'm still trying to stop myself from hindering their play when I shouldn't. You see, I'm a very cautious person and I hate doing things that might cause me or anyone else to get hurt. I ski, but I always slow myself down if I get going too fast; and I love rollercoasters but only because I am confident in the reliability of the safety harnesses. And whenever my guy friends or anyone more daring than myself starts trying a new stunt in front of me, I kind of freak out. While this is a very helpful instinct when you're a lifeguard, its not so good when you're the primary caretaker of twin boys who like to create and be daring and constantly tell me, "No, I'm not going to be careful."

So, as they are playing in their room, they created a "slide" and wanted me to come see it. So I walked into their room and found that they had moved one of their bed mattresses so that it is perpendicular and resting on the other bed. Now, the part that concerns me is the wall on the other side of the slide and the exposed bed poles that support the small mattress. But all I said was "wow, cool" and walked away, knowing that they're coordinated enough that they should be allowed to create and experiment with things like that.

And as further confirmation that I need to let them play with their creation, Chris just ran over to me and said, "That was fun! Michal, that was fun on the big slide!" So yes, Michal is definitely in training for motherhood.
