Falling Toy + Birdie

07-12-2008, 07:32 PM

Hanging from the ceiling above one of Ollie's gyms is a long plastic chain and a vine swing (StarBird Fine Vine Swing - 3 ft long) that she loves to climb up and down. Today, while midway up to the ceiling, the whole thing comes crashing down-birdie and all. I sit frozen to the couch, horrified (I need to reevalute how I react in situations like this), until I see movement near the back of the gym. She's clinging to the main vertical pole, wide eyed, waiting to be rescued. I quickly grab her in for a cuddle, sure that she's now scarred for life. While secure in my arms (and already wriggling to get free from her overly-affectionate momma) she lets out a loud, excited "WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" followed by a chuckle. I'm convinced she planned this whole thing for kicks and giggles... she'll be the death of me for sure.

Probably planned. If she was really scared she would have flown as she is falling.

Guess you need those hooks that open up once inside the drywall.

Boca will do the same thing...Greys are conniving little stinkers.

Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, your poor Mommy, she's going to be grey headed before she's 30. What a silly girl you are. I think it must be a grey thing as my sister-in-laws grey{Lucy} does the hang by one toe nail thing and drops like that, and thinks it's great fun, and laughs her silly birdie head off. Glad to know Ollie is okay. What a little rascal.

Ollie has learned well how to get mommy's attention.
