Welcome to Four Years Old

C turned 4 about 2 weeks ago. Since then, she has:

Walked smack into a wall while blinded by a shirt she couldn't get over her head.

Tried to go potty by herself on Grandpa's boat, ending up smashing 2 fingers in the door instead.

Touched Mommy's iron and giving herself 2nd degree burns on her (sucking) thumb and her pinky.

Had at least one bandage per day due to assorted smaller boo-boos.


Not the most flattering picture of me, but representative of life with C recently. Note the Band-aid already on her leg.

She is an unstoppable force, charging through life unafraid. I am so proud of her and so scared for her, but I don't want to deter her too much. I can only advise and suggest that she slow down and not run in the house. I love her fearlessness.
