My
daughter Sarah had her 2 year old stupid crazy moments. One day she stood on
the head board of her bed. It was metal and about a 10 inch diameter. When I
saw her I froze for a moment because it was scary to see her standing there
with her arms opened wide, looking like a gymnast who was ready to make a
tumble. I was thinking if she fell on the bed it might not be a bad fall but if
she fell on the floor that could be a disaster. I calmly said to her, “Let me
see you jump on the bed.”
“Jump?”
She asked.
“Yes.
Jump now.”
She
did. I clapped my hands and shouted, “Nice jump.” I knelt on the floor, held
her hand then I gave her a speech about climbing on the head board can break it
and I know she loves her bed. “I don’t want it to break. I won’t do it again,”
She said.
“Good.”
That
was the end of it. She still did stupid crazy funny things, but nothing to
cause a heart attack.
