Climbers
Monday, May 16th, 2016From Monday Mom – Neetika:
Please tell me my children are not the only ones climbing on everything they see! I wish I could say the activity was limited to the usual places—jungle gyms, slides, trees, etc. Haley and Hudson must climb on everything. Sofas, stacked boxes, open drawers… I’m like a broken record imploring “Get down from there!”
It’s great for a child to have an adventurous spirit, but as a mommy, it makes me very nervous! I want to encourage them to reach great heights, but until the fear centers of their brains fully develop, it’s my job to be a nervous Nelly.
Haley and Hudson both also love to read books, so their thrill-seeking activities are certainly tempered by calmer moments. I’ll have to remind myself how pleasant it is to be sitting still the next time I’m reading “Goodnight Moon” for the 1,000th time. It may be mind numbing, but at least there are no falling children to look out for.
Have a great week, everyone!
