Last night Jacob fell down the stairs. A bad half flight- fall flat on his face- kinked neck at the bottom- kind of fall. Sheesh. Scared me to death. I saw the whole thing as I was with the baby on the couch. He was just coming too fast and tripped on a toy he was holding. Stephen was also in the room and came to his rescue in less than two seconds. Jacob cried and cried for a few minutes but fortunately he wasn't really hurt. No broken arms, no sprained neck. I'm thanking my lucky stars... yet again.
After the crying stopped he got up and with tears on his cheek said, "Like Pinocchio!"
And we couldn't help but bust up laughing because he was so right. It really did look JUST like this!
Our laughing was contagious. He started laughing and hammed it up by doing the "Pinocchio fall" again and again- only this time on the cushy couch.
Maybe you would have had to been there, but it's SO funny what goes through a two-year-old's head. Now that he's is talking more we can actually appreciate all the smart humor and great connections he has.
I'm so glad Jake could get up and start singing and dancing just like Pinocchio did after such a bad fall.

Poor kid! I definitely can picture the fall and him saying that. Miss you guys!
I love your blog Julia! I look forward to seeing what you have posted all the time! Funny thing about this post is that I had just told Doug and Kimmie about Jacobs fall and Pinocchio (Stephen had called me) then I pull up your blog and there is the whole episode, complete with a link to Pinocchio! We laughed until we had tears, but we are also so grateful that Jacob was not seriously hurt! Give him a hug for us all... (Thanks for the Blog!)
what a smart and clever little boy you have. Reading your post and watching the movie clip made me laugh out loud.
