@mbateman Every darn time, these children were meant for the trees. Is this your home? It’s beautiful, I’m curious what the art means to you.

@mbateman My 2yo is the exact same way. My 4.5yo was the opposite, even at age 2. Most cautious child you ever met.

@mbateman Very jealous. My 2 yo is now throwing himself off the high surfaces and I'm trying to explain when the ground is a trampoline and when it isn't. He seems to bounce either way but man...

@mbateman picture is about 2-3 inches too high. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

@KeeperofReal16 It’s not actually. It’s a trick of perspective, believe it or not. I went back and measured three times to be sure, and it looks fine from the upstairs balcony. I did have to nudge it to the left though

@mbateman That was an intentional pic but we need to know how you did it. It'd be interesting if photoshopped but managing a 2yo to stay there for the shot would be waaaay more interesting to know

@javelartin If you take a billion pics of your children and you’ve habitualized at least trying to have good composition, you’ll end up with a steady trickle of pics like this
