What do you do?


What do you do when your kid is completely fearless? I mean really....what do you do? Riley is unlike most kids, when I say fearless I mean she really doesn't care what the outcome is....it was fun on the way down! when she did something 30 seconds ago that resulted in landing face first (or more accurately nose first) onto the hardwood floor with blood everywhere, how come the second I go in the garage or to the restroom or anything Riley knows she has about 10 seconds to do the same thing again or anything she's not supposed to.
That being said the picture above is from her climbing on the back of the couch and falling off. She's been in trouble for this MANY times the last few days (Payten too) which is why she waited until I went outside to wipe off the patio table. I ran in to her screaming and blood everywhere! Now here's the best way to describe Riley.....maybe 1 minute after doing this, I calmed her down and she was fine, I went to wipe up the floor, looked up and Riley was standing in the exact same spot on top of the couch looking town at me with a "I know I shouldn't be here but nener nener look where I am MOM".
anyone know a trick for getting blood out, I've tried a few things and seems like it ruined both our shirts.
Earlier today she was trying to climb up on the desk in the office (also over hard wood floor). she was using a folding chair that folds easy and she was told repeatedly "no no" (and YES she does know what that means, she also knows very well what time out means) anyways I went to the restroom then heard her screaming. I ran to her to find her feet on the chair, her hands on the desk and the chair was sliding away from the desk....when I got to her she was completely horizontal (arms strait out in front of her and legs strait behind her...I never could have held that position) and her stomach muscles were shaking (like when you do the plank exercise). I threw my arm around her waist right as she started to drop....caught her luckily but that probably would have had the same ending as the couch if I didn't get there quick enough.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
(and yes she was sooo ticked that I wouldn't let her get back up on that chair to do it again!)
