Day 27 – Hey everybody, its Chris (aka Daddy) guest posting
today. The need to feel exhilaration…
You know how when you lean back in a chair and you start to fall backwards but
catch yourself at the last possible second? That feeling you have in your stomach, well
Baby Girl seeks that like Dabo Swinney seeks 5 star recruits. (Go Tigers!) She will climb anything, a rock wall, a play
set, a ladder – anything to get her up off the ground. There is absolutely no fear. It is not
uncommon on a swing set, after she has waited her turn, to find her going as
high as possible while leaning back so far her ponytail sweeps the ground. To date not a roller coaster has been found
that she will not hop on and then beg to ride over and over. Maybe this came from when she was younger and
she wanted me to throw her into the air to land on our bed. That adrenaline rush feeds something inside
her. At 3 she would take the big wheel
to the top of the hill at her great grandmother’s house and just go – hands in
the air, legs kicked out wide so she could go faster than she could peddle,
laughing all the way down. What does the
future hold - skydiving, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, hang gliding? We’ll
have to wait to see. As her Daddy I hope
she can always find this feeling of exhilaration – just safely. #30facesofautism
