If you don't happen to follow Jessica Simpson on Instagram, you are missing out on a whole lot of cuteness. The reality star posts a ton of absolutely adorable photos of her kids Maxwell, 2, and Ace, 1. Like this one. And this one. Oh! And this one .
This week, though, a photo popped up on her page that made my stomach turn just a bit.
"I was on a plane to NYC today and I missed out on this!!! I'm in LOVE with the 2 of them. #boyswillbeboys" Jessica captioned this must-see shot, which shows her husband Eric Johnson and baby Ace having some pool time. Well, to be specific, Ace is flying feet above the pool, having been tossed way, way, way up in the air by his daddy.
The huge smile on that baby's sweet face shows that he is having the time of his little life. But if I walked outside to see my infant soaring into the stratosphere like that I probably would have a small heart attack.
Yes, I guess I am that mom.
The thing is, I don't want to be! I want my two daughters to be brave and strong and adventurous, and I know I won't help them get there if I'm holding my breath and cringing every time they do something a little bit daring.
My husband thankfully balances my nervous-nelly tendencies. He's always flipping the girls upside down, balancing them on his feet, tossing them into pools and piles of leaves, making them jump off of ledges and tree branches. I'm the one hovering on the outskirts, one eye closed, unable to quell that maternal instinct that makes me constantly blurt, "Be careful!"
It seems I'm not the only one. Here's a sample of the comments that Jessica's photo received from the readers of US Magazine:
- i'll be mad to my husband if he does that to our kids
- putting their kids in danger. accident could happen anytime. maybe it's just me but it's really looking scary.
- No, I'm totally in agreeance with you. Especially the distance he's throwing them. Too much.
- I agree. I'm the type of person who always pictures the worst possible outcome though. If I was Jessica, I'd tell him to knock it off.
Jessica Simpson, clearly, is not that mom. This isn't the first time she's posted pics of her handsome hubby throwing the kids around - turns out he's a repeat offender when it comes to tossing babies sky-high. It may make me a little queasy, but Jessica seems to love it.
What do you think of the photo: Way too cute or way too high?
