Asher

Several days ago Asher was laying down on the floor at the top of the stairs. He asked me if he could roll down. I told him that was not a good idea because he wouldn't be able to stop and it would hurt. I guess he was still curious about it because today he found out for himself that I was right! Good thing our stairs have a landing half way down. I still felt bad for him :( I asked him if he wanted to try again and he said 'no'. Good to know I have a smart kid :)!! I couldn't help but laugh a little though because rolling down the stairs is so obviously not a good idea to me. Funny what kids think looks like fun!
Asher has never been able to hold up two fingers. Well, except by using his other hand. These days he goes around using his right hand to hold down two fingers on his left hand (usually he'll hold down his pointer and middle finger) and say "I two and a half!"
For awhile now one of my favorite things about Asher is his skill in karate moves! He'll karate chop the spouting water at the splash pad and even flies that come in the house--cracks me up!!
My dad recently made a comment to my mom about how Asher just smiles all the time. And it's true. Okay, okay, he certainly has his grouchy moments but seriously, this is one happy kid. They other day Asher made even my heart smile as he came downstairs after his nap with the biggest smile on his face. He came right up to me, looked me straight in the eyes, and just kept smiling. I couldn't help but cover him in kisses and squeeze him tight. I love this kid!!
