Annie is a bit of a daredevil, to be fair she’s an all out loony with no regard for personal safety, but what 2.5 year old isn’t! She can turn any item or place into an arena for adventure and possible bruises or split lips. Her latest favourite game is to lay out a line of nappy bags and walk along them, with different obstacles or ways of traversing them, walking backwards, hopping or jumping.
Of course there were ‘out-takes’, I’m just glad none of them feature blood or ambulance men ;-)
It astounds me that she hasn’t had more serious injuries than a split lip and bumps and bruises because she goes all out in her quest for more daring things to do. She really has no fear and to be honest I encourage her, I’m way too reserved and I want Annie to feel like she can grab life by the horns and to have learnt through experience that even if she falls over she can simply get up and try again. I’m proud of my tiny stunt-kiddo!
In the end Annie had to be bribed to come indoors with the promise of Ben and Holly and a snack, otherwise I think she may have stayed out there until the rain washed her beloved snow away!
