No, I am not talking about Mel Gibson. I am referring to Riana who makes some bold moves, often making me worry. Last weekend at our friends’ house, Riana went chasing after the dogs, a German Shepherd and a Labrador. The dogs are BIG. While most children are afraid of big moving objects such as animals, my little monster loves them. In fact, she may have even scared the dogs. They were running away from her as she chased them to give a hug. She thought it was a fun game. She was all over them.
The other thing that makes me nervous is that Riana has figured out that she can reach higher if she climbs on to things. So, she dares to climb on to everything, the stairs, her crib, the baseboard, safety gate, furniture, people etc. Just the other day, I had a dream that she managed to get out of the crib and walk into our bedroom. I am sure, it isn’t long before my dream becomes a reality.
While it is good to be brave, just how brave do I want her to be is a different story. I hope she doesn’t try to play games with a Rottweiler or a Pit Bull. She’s not ready for it yet.
