For Avery’s birthday party, Mom (a master party planner and decorator) got Avery a bunch of Dora the Explorer balloons, including the one you’ll see in this video. Since the party, Dora has spent most of her time floating about 12 feet above our living room.

Last night, Dora floated into another room and had a grisly encounter with a ceiling fan. Her body punctured, Dora now she floats using only the helium in her head. She can’t achieve escape velocity and this puts her well within Avery’s reach. This scene played out a few times before I finally decided to take some video.
