J is having a difficult time these days. Physically, she's starting to move really fast, but her brain's not keeping up. She keeps running into things. Last week she ran into the side of the house, scratching her forehead and leaving a pretty goose egg. Then at Nana's she ran into the bed, leaving another mark. It's not pretty. I wanted to encourage her to be more careful.

Me: J, I need you to be more careful with your body. I need you to
pay attention and focus on where you are going. I need you to stop running
into things.
J: No Ma. I didn't run'to anything. I just run, and things are
there ... in the way. It's not my fault.
