Letter to Blair

Dear Blair,
We really truly love you, but could you please slow down a bit. We are starting to truly wonder if your goal in life is to give mommy and daddy a heart attack or panic attack on a daily basis. If this is your goal it is working. Your climbing skills are amazing but lets use this ability for the playground not EVERYTHING in the house. The counters, entertainment centers etc are NOT the playground. The table and counters are not to hang on like your doing pulls ups. The banister is not to hang on or to swing from step to step. Your toys aren't tools to aid in climbing. The drawers are not stairs. We don't use them to get to the counter. We know you have great tricks and it is even cute when you say "me, me" "Look." in your cute little voice to show them off. However, I am starting to seriously think your going to injure yourself in a serious way. We know you want to be super women but the stairs are not for jumping off of, or pretending to fly off the 4th step off. Luckily, mommy was there to catch you when you surprised her with that trick. I am seriously thinking of putting all the chairs and bar stools away and eating on the floor. It might make life easier. However, that isn't REALLY an option. I have put the bar stools and chairs on their sides. This doesn't stop you, you just push them to were you want them to go and use the sides of them as climbing tools. Your refusal to eat in a high chair OR booster makes dinner quite a fiasco. Good thing I brought the high chair out to scare you into thinking you would need to use it again because you have been doing a little better at not standing and using your chair as a stage for dancing and singing and tricks while eating. There isn't a day that goes by that you don't hurt yourself. Just this morning you cut your lip open from doing your tricks. You have had FIVE bloody noses since birth. Your brother hasn't had a single one. There has been many nights that mom has checked on you to make sure you were okay because of severe falls and bumps on the head. All in all lets just say we pray every night that your tricks don't lead to a trip to the hospital. We do love you, craziness and all though!
Love,
Mom and dad
