(The story behind this shot is that Olivia and Julia wanted to hang off that bar. I put Olivia on first and then Julia. So by the time I got Julia on and stood back to take the picture, Olivia’s little hands were slipping. Of course, I am all about the shot — so I stole the shot before grabbing her! lol)
Mom Bloggers (and Dad Bloggers too!) post a photo on your site, link up and find others… Wordless Wednesday is tons of fun. (And I know it says “wordless” but I just can’t bear to not write anything! If I had created it, I probably would have named it something different! LOL So feel to link up your word-full or word-less Wednesday photos!)
Leave the URL to your photo (clearly mine are never truly “wordless”) and then visit others!
Here is a fun thumbnail linky:
And here is a basic linky if you prefer your linkies the good old fashioned way!
Thanks to Uisce for creating Wordless Wednesday.

Preschoolers can learn to ride two-wheelers without training wheels. The secret is a balance bike (often called a running bike)!

We love this picture, and the explanation that comes with it definitely provides some perspective.

Thought that I can save the moment is why I am addicted to photo making! We parents would need to save every moment of our children life`s, unfortunately it`s impossible…
Great snap ! 🙂

Janice says
It was TOO hysterical to miss it! I just grabbed it and then grabbed her!
Beth says
It really is interesting to hear the story behind the photo. The perspective does change quickly with kids and makes a major difference in facial expressions.
Janice says
I thought I should tell the story too – makes it make a bit more sense! lol
Tarasview says
ah yes, it iS all a matter of perspective! Love the shot Janice 🙂
Janice says
Thanks! I was crying with laughter when I saw it! What kind of a mother am I — that I grabbed the shot before grabbing her!!! LOL But, it wasn’t that far down if she had fallen! LOL
