Darn Diamonds!<br /><br />One time I ignored my oldest as a baby in the middle of the night, because he just needed to learn how to fall back to sleep. In the morning I found a HORRIBLE poopy diaper/rash. I FELT SICK! He woke up to tell me he needed a change. Now I always check to make sure!Corinne Ritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13962324323573258852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690935211287966710.post-64963081316899366812011-06-03T10:18:10.507-05:002011-06-03T10:18:10.507-05:00I think these sorts of things happen to every mom....I think these sorts of things happen to every mom. I caught the skin of Doodle's leg in the buckle for his bouncer when he was just a few weeks old, and I cried harder than he did. <br /><br />I like what you wrote about giving yourself permission to make mistakes in parenting. I think it's important, especially as my kids get older, for them to see how I acknowledge mistakes and how I move forward from them. Growing up, one of my parents *never* admitted to making a mistake - it was always someone else's fault. So I learned that mistakes are shameful, and for many years I lived in fear of messing up. Sometimes that meant I wouldn't even try, because I was too terrified I couldn't do something perfectly. <br /><br />I would love for my kids to understand that, as the wonderful Dr. Suess wrote, life is a great balancing act. Making mistakes is a part of living. <br /><br />Of course, for them to grow up knowing that, I need to make sure I'm living it. ;) It goes back to what you said about permission...so I guess today is as good a place as any to start. I'm not going to dwell any more on how badly I screwed up naptime this morning!<br /><br />I probably don't say this enough - but thank you for being so transparent and real in your writing. I can really relate, and I always take away some truth to ponder. :)Twinside Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215174603290252448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690935211287966710.post-65676005642953820632011-06-03T08:28:39.547-05:002011-06-03T08:28:39.547-05:00If it makes you feel any better, I cut Ryan's ...If it makes you feel any better, I cut Ryan's ear when he was a toddler - trying to trim his hair.

Worst mess up yet was at his 1 year appointment and he wiggled off my lap - straight onto his face. BLOOD EVERYWHERE. It was awful. Thankfully Dr. Young was super supportive checking him over and letting me know that it is hard to keep them on your lap when they get older and want to be independent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052591969461322960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690935211287966710.post-45645258999971342352011-06-03T07:49:46.771-05:002011-06-03T07:49:46.771-05:00You're absolutely right!
