I couldn't disagree more with your guilt trap approach of 'just in case' and 'better safe than sorry'. (I top-trump you with two young children, a 'climbing wife' (whatever that means) and 28 years of climbing).
I encourage my boys to wear their scrapes and scuffs as badges of honour to show how hard they were trying and learning! They love showing me the daily tally to their knees and elbows. But then, maybe I'm just a bad dad. I'll let you know in 20 years.
And to Carrie.
Thank for such a lovely video. It brought a tear to my eye on a dreary British grey Saturday morning. Relish every moment (good and bad!), as they grow up so quickly!
