Falling Down

Lily has a mild obsession with eschatology, or "last things."  We have explained to her that Jesus is going to return someday to set up His kingdom.  She refers to that as "heaven coming down," which is as good an explanation as any.  We have explained to her that in the new heaven and new earth things will be perfect.  You won't be able to get hurt.  As a rapidly-growing and somewhat klutzy six year-old, she takes that to mean that we won't be able to fall down anymore.  That seems very appealing to her.

I have a great video about this, but now the only way to post videos is through YouTube and we don't necessarily want our kids there.  Lily very deftly rode her scooter down our street and occasionally did so with one leg sticking straight out to the side.  Ballet is doing her good.
