Wild Animals

I think Miah lives vicariously through her stuffed animals.  She finds great joy in giving them rides down the banister.  Yet she’d never consider sliding down herself (thankfully!)  Sometimes they fly high into the air, doing multiple somersaults before crashing to the ground.  Miah laughs heartily as she launches them upward again.  One wouldn’t guess that she herself is quite cautious.  I’ve mentioned before what a sympathetic heart she has, but that must not pertain to stuffed animals.  Last night they were tumbling down the stairs like freestyle skiers.  The bears were the most entertaining, either cartwheeling or going head-over-heals all the way to the bottom.  Miah wore herself out carrying them back up after each tumultuous descent.  Froggy fared much better.  He only bumped his nose when he got to the bottom.
