Oh, I hope this screaming phase passes soon. Lila just wears me out. Where has my easy-going baby gone? Lila wants to be outside. If she's outside, life is good and she's my happy gal. But it's *hot* outside, and buggy. So we've had a lot of screaming lately. And head-banging. Her forehead bruise is turning green now. Today she threw her head down as hard as she could on my shin bone. We both cried.
Lila is my climber. The play set in the backyard has four levels, and she can climb up to the second level by herself. She climbs a ladder that's twice as tall as she is. The step to the top is higher than her leg can reach, so she hooks her fingers around a floorboard and pulls herself up. She is truly determined!
I asked Nathan to keep Lila company over at the plastic slide while I went to the garage for another toy. I walked down the walk, down three steps, into the garage and back again. 45 seconds, a minute and a half tops. . . and Lila had already climbed the small ladder and was wriggling into the tunnel. Nathan was in the tunnel cheering her on.
This past weekend, I told a church member how much Lila loves to be outside. She lives down the street, and knows our house and yard well. She says "I'll bet you love that fenced in area. You can just close the gate and not worry about her." ????? I fished around a bit more, and she *did* envision me leaving my 14 month old baby alone in a fenced in yard. I know it has been awhile since she raised her children, but *my goodness*! I really don't think so!
