She’s outside and I am going crazy. 


It has been a beautiful and early spring but having Anna outside and playing causes me so much worry.  It is in the dirt and mud and water, I am told, that the evil “pseudos” lurk, waiting for a chance to invade her lungs. How does one avoid these things that will make her sick for the rest of her life?

Every time she falls I want to wash her hands. I want to yank her fingers out of her mouth as she chews on them. I want to strap her in a stroller and never let her out.  I want to slather her in hands sanitizer…..

I want her to be happy. I want her to play. I want to see her curls bounce in the sunlight.  I want her to bounce the ball she loves so much.  I want her to live… for a long time.
