One day on vacation, there was a sort of empty hut structure that the Junebug wanted to explore, but it looked full of exciting things like staplers and scrap wood that he could hurt himself on, so I said no. Then later we were hanging out with another mom and she sent her three-year-old off to play in it. So I said, "oops! I am being overprotective mom! Go play with L, Junebug!"
Then I found out that L was one month from turning 4, i.e. a third again as old as the Junebug, who just turned 3. And the Junebug got a massive splinter that required a visit to a medic to remove. And Mr. E found them just as L. discovered the black paint and locked himself in.
So I'm learning about erring in both directions...
