The curly one is a sneaky monkey.
We don't have a fence yet and she is not trustworthy to be outside and stay in the yard. It is an ongoing frustration around here because we want her to have fun and be able to play outside with Shelby and Jesse, but without supervision, she is out of eye-shot within 3 minutes of exiting the house. We have chimes on all the doors that let us know when a one has been opened and which one it is.
"front door...beep beep, laundry door...beep, beep."
She is also the one that I have recurring nightmares about every few months. She is lost in the woods, at the mall, or in a random crowd and I can't find her. We are walking along a creek, a lake, or beside a pool and she falls in but I can't rescue her. I have had these dreams ever since she was a baby. I feel so helpless and wake up in a panic. When she escapes the house or I can't find her I sometimes worry that those dreams are coming true. I'd like a dream analysis, please. Maybe if I understood the dreams, they would go away.
Over the next few weeks, James and some buddies will be putting up our new picket fence. I can't wait! I will still be out there with her when she plays, but I won't have to chase her around like a dog on her heals to make sure she doesn't run into the street. She is such a joy...hilarious, cute, creative, & lovable, but an ornery little booger! I know her personality will serve her well as she grows up, I just hope we can harness some of her unbridled curiosity while she is still so young so she can make it safely into adulthood!
