Ballerina

Ah, my sweet little J.

Always doing something, isn't he? This kid is just fabulous. Seriously. Our class would be boring without him.

Yesterday we were walking in the hall. I always make sure I know EXACTLY where J is because sometimes, he's not always aware of his surroundings and does things like follows another class to THEIR classroom instead.

Oh yeah, that has happened.

So, I have one eye on J, one on the other 20 kiddos.

All of a sudden, J wasn't in line...he'd fallen on the ground.

FALLEN ON THE GROUND. WHILE WALKING.

JUST walking. Nothing else.

Not totally surprising since he often manages to fall out of his chair...this is pretty much a weekly occurrence (how do you fall out of chair THAT much?).

Then...up popped his little head, beet red: "Um, I was TRYING to be a ballerina. I do this at home. Then I fell."


I was laughing so hard I couldn't get my kids to stop laughing at him...which, fortunately, he thought was funny that they thought HE was funny.


I just don't get it...how do you just randomly fall? Love it.

Today I had a kid fall while he was sitting on a bench reading...I've had kids fall before when they were just sitting in their chair...have no clue how their motor system works. Maybe it takes breaks...
