Description
Β©2007 Sarah B. Seiter - - Please do not use without permissionThis is a submission to the Merbaby contest at which is to turn her beautiful daughter Lyra into a mermaid
I have a two-year-old of my own and I created this image to capture how I often feel throughout the day as I rescue my child from random dangers. Thing is, he does not see the danger. It is a wide world of interesting and beautiful things to him. For a mother, the challenge is to know when to intervene and when to let a child learn through their own experiences.
EDIT: I added some detail shots here-

Thanks to stock from-
(took bits and pieces from several different images)
I have a list of all the rest of the stock I used to create this, but I canβt find the disk that I burned it to. I will edit this description as soon as I find it.

This really, and I sincerely mean this, REALLY captures how I feel as a mother. And it does it with swanky mermaid style. Oh yes.

"Thing is, he does not see the danger. It is a wide world of interesting and beautiful things to him. For a mother, the challenge is to know when to intervene and when to let a child learn through their own experiences."
...whether they are two years old or 13, that's always true.
