I hope everyone reading this knows that I have never claimed to be Super Mom! In fact, I’m fairly certain that I have had enough public mothering mishaps to reassure any other mom that I am not perfect and I don’t expect anyone else to be. That being said, let me tell you about a little whiff this morning:
I was busy nursing Asher this morning when Titus bumped his finger on the cupboard and began wimpering. I did the “right” mommy thing and kissed his finger and attempted to distract him with a different activity. He proceeded to whine quite excessively (in my opinion at least). And let me just say here that whining is something we are really trying to address stongly in our house! So, when he did not listen to my request for him to use his “Titus voice” (aka the non-whiny voice) I sent him to the time out spot and told him to return when he was finished. He came back several minutes later with his airplane and began playing quite nicely. I soon noticed that his airplane was dirty looking and wondered what in the world it was covered in…yup, that was blood! In my efforts to eliminate the whining I managed to completely miss the fact that his little finger was bleeding. Oops!! He is definitely fine now and not likely scarred for life but he does enjoy showing everyone his new owie! And I am sure that it won’t be long at all before I have another mothering mishap to send your way =)
Mom said to tell you she is appauled that you made him go to timeout when he was bleeding.
Does it make you feel any better to hear that Nate let Blake eat cat food yesterday? 😉
