Does the end justify the means??

I don't know about my Katilynn, I'm a little worried she might not make it past her youth. I've posted other mis-adventures of hers plenty of times, today is no different. This past week she had a little injury in a place that will not be mentioned, but I'm sure you can guess where it was.

Kaitlynn was climbing up on the kitchen counter tops (every one of my children have done this, except Elizabeth...but it's only a matter of time for her as well with such great examples), despite all the warnings and disciplinary actions on my part. This time, like most, it is to steal some food (which if they would only ask, they would receive) from the cupboards. At some time, whether up or down I am unsure, she slipped and fell right onto the open garbage can. One foot in and the other foot out. Imagine riding a bike and... there you have it. There was quite a bit of blood, and after getting it to stop we headed to the ER because you just have to make sure they are OK. The doctor made us stay to make sure the urethra was not damaged. But, once the doctor told her that was the only way she could go home she kept trying every time crying and saying she couldn't. Our trip was over three hours long...

Poor little girl.

Other than peeing she was having a great time having mommy all to her self. She is a crack up, goofing off and asking tons of questions.

Do you think that has stopped her from climbing??

NO, not one bit, I don't even think it slowed her down!!

Silly little girl.

We keep reminding her of her last experience but it does not seem to stop the adventurer in her.

So, after other silly falls and such, today she decided to climb up on the food storage containers...

This is the outcome...
She reminds me of a future Rene Russo who plays Lorna in Lethal Weapon 3, she shares the movie's funniest scene with Mel Gibson as Riggs, where she and Riggs compare battle scars.

That wouldn't be so bad after all, he's pretty handsome.
