I really did a number on my back Saturday morning. Going easy on it.

UPDATE: Yesteray, we got out to Skyline and did a portion of the St. Mary's Rock hike. This hiking guide confuses me. We entered at the Panorama way station, which I think is the very end of this hike as you are going up toward the rock. I think we went in about a linear mile or so, but of course, you gain about 500-800 feet in altitude. Basically, it's up up up the whole time. The Barbarian is a natural mountain goat. It was great to be in the woods.

The hike sounds excellent.

I'm resisting the urge to tell you to take her to a climbing gym pronto. *g*

OMG FOUR-YEAR-OLD TROUBLE! Can you imagine teaching a kid that little to climb stuff. It's be counters, bookshelves, pantry shelves, the DVD towers... *recoils in horror* Though I will keep in in mind for when she's old enough to have the judgment to go with the skill...

My very limited childcare experience suggests that at that age, it's more a question of stopping them from climbing things. *g*

Seriously, I hadn't realized the Barbarian was quite so little, but maybe in a few years, if she's still showing mountain goat tendencies -- a lot of climbing gyms are very good with kids, and it can be very much about learning about safety and responsibility.

Actually, even as I clicked "Post Comment" on the previous reply, I was thinking climbing in a structured environment might make her safer around the house. Though thank goodness, neither of my children has had that need to climb furniture, or they would have been crushed under bookshelves years ago.
