It's going to be a miracle.

This kid is going to be the death of me... by heart attack no doubt.

She's constantly doing things, hurting herself etc.

Last night she decided (strapped into her booster seat) she was all done at the table so proceeded to push herself away from the table, only to tip the chair (and the booster strapped on the chair, and Isabella strapped into the booster) over backwards, hitting her head on the floor and wall. Good god I almost died. I screamed, she screamed, DH was screaming at me to stop screaming and scaring her...

I don't think I stopped shaking for an hour.

Now today, I'm replying to an email, walk into the kitchen to find this:

She had pushed the chair from the breakfast nook into the kitchen, climbed up with her sippy and cup and was standing there attempting to boost herself onto the counter.

WTF Kid? She's also the same kid I found hanging from a tree branch (thanks Daddy) and then SITTING in the tree (again thanks Daddy)... will go down the biggest slide at hte park by herself... I mean... holy cow. She's a little dare devil! She's fearless I tell you.

Matthew hits himself all the time. Walks into walls, falls on his face, etc. I found him straddling the couch once and he also got past the gate and was sitting in the middle of the staircase. :rolleyes:

Dylan is the same way, I'm never at piece at home. I don't even like leaving them to go upstairs or to the basement. Just the other day he climbed on the bottom drawer or the stove and the oven door flew back with him. Just keep an eye out for the white hairs.

Aidan is this way. A climber and daredevil. She fell out of the window once. :look: And barely cried about it.

Dylan was my cautious child. But was mostly grumpy. Aidan is mostly happy and sweet so I don't mind the nerve she has :hehe:

Brendon is going to be my ''oh my god'' child. Alice is pretty tame but Brendon, despite being the sweetest little boy ever, is constantly almost hurting himself now that he's mobile. Holy cow.

Holy crap Candice! She's stressing me out! I can't imagine what it's like being her mom. :bluehug: On the bright side she's a smart little cookie! Pulled the chair up to the counter... :hehe:

Ben is such a calm little guy. He did go through a stage where he was falling all the time and constantly hurting himself but it wasn't because he was a daredevil, he was just a clumsy toddler. I have a feeling Thomas is going to be the one that stresses me out. He is the opposite to Ben in almost every way. I'm scared. :hehe:

Oh I'm terrified. I mean, I want to encourage her to be brave and to believe in herself and all that jazz but... yeish.

Oh and kind of side note but when she gets really tired she gets super clumsy and just trips all over the place and randomly falls down. It's hilarious :lol:

Sara is just.lie.that! :hehe: She is such a flippin dare devil and I have at least one severe panic attack a day because of it. My FIL is always telling me that she should have been a boy with the way she does things. There is no advice that I can impart other than to be very watchful with her and try to make your home as safe as possible, maybe try bolting down the chairs to the floor that way she can't move them. :hehe:
