Hard not to dwell on the mistakes we make EVERY DAY as parents, but kids are resilient and they don't hold grudges. Too right!

Just last week, Savannah got burnt and it was all my fault! I was trying to cook our dinner on the stove, microwave her dinner, and make her a sippy all at the same time. I took her dinner out of the microwave quickly, checked the temperature somewhat, and sat her down to eat. Then, I quickly went back to cooking our dinner. I heard a horrible scream, and ran to her - She had gotten a bite on her fork and it flung onto her arm, burning her arm! I must not have checked her food well enough, and I felt so horrible! Imagine how bad it would have hurt if she had gotten that bite in her mouth instead of on her arm. I think we have all made mistakes, but it's important to remember all the times we have saved them from harm, instead of the few incidents where they did get hurt. Parents are busy, tired, and distracted - We can't be perfect! Many hugs to you!! Ahhh, yes….I have been here before. Just last week, Savannah got burnt and it was all my fault!
