      NOT an exaggeration. HI SK’mom!!! DIdja see that about 10 min after your last collapsing comment the other day when you left your (wirk?) I finally got back home from my doktor’s appt and found the Meg’s exciting post for me, here on CO???

      • skippymom says:

        I did! I read through that whole thread this morning. Congratulations on your award, enjoy the glory!

        Fird, now that you’re all famous and stuff, you have a responsibility to clean up all explosions and initiate revivals from the brink.

        So, since I’ve been boinged fatally close to fatality w/ this lil boinger, can ya help a gal out here?!

        • Fird Birfle says:

          sure. How would a popsicle and a lionhead bunneh do?? :)

          only? am I the only staff 24/7 in charge of EVERY explosion? That level of responsibility could kinda harsh my mellow from time to time… Is there, like,
          a schedule and shifts on/ off or something???

          • pupfanatic says:

            Yeah, you do need to take breaks from explosion cleanings and such. Well, maybe you’ll get paid OT? Hire an assistant?

  4. rescue gal says:

    Now, is this boinging or sproinging? Can I get some clarification please? ;)

    • skippymom says:

      Now that you mention it, I think this is actually sproinging. I think in sproinging, the sproinger moves forward with each sproing, whereas a boing just goes straight up, repeatedly.

    • pupfanatic says:

      @ Rescuegal- here is the official scientific answer (and I even called Stephen Hawkings for clarification)

      Boinging is totally, like, freakin’, so adorable you could like, die.
      Sproinging is totally, like freakin’ so adorable you could like, thud.

      All clear?

    Wheeeeeeeeee!!

    Gee, the New England Patriots can use a running back on the team this year…or would it be a sproinging back? Calling Coach B!

  6. Mamabear says:

    Don’cha just wish you could climb out of bed and go about your life with this kind of exuberance every day (and not just on vacation)?

  7. Fird Birfle says:

    *THUD*

    Oh, and look how far little bebeh has come! I’m assuming this video is of the same little one before those legs started working right…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kf6ZmSgnGRM

    • Nikki says:

      Yes, same one. So sweet.

    • Dash says:

      Amazing the transformation, isn’t it?? From “YOU CAN DO IT!!! STAND UP!!!” to “WHEEEEEE!!! Watch out for the sproinging maniac!!” Mama probably has moments where she longs for the wee wobbly baby who couldn’t stand up yet.

  10. Mary (the first) says:

    I wish I had even 1/10 of that much energy. (or beauty!)

    Bend my knees and bounce away.
