Fearless

I feel like a horrible mom! Anna was climbing around under the kitchen table today, slipped, and ended up with a black eye :(. Despite being right there, I wasn't fast enough to catch her. She cried, I teared up and we cuddled until she fell asleep in my arms. After she was asleep and I was holding her, the realization hit me that there are going to be many times in the future that I am not going to be able to keep her from falling. I immediately started to pray.
When Anna woke up from her nap, she greeted me with a huge smile and her eye didn't seem to bother her (though it was still very red). She was ready to play and even to climb again - she is fearless.
