Mom of the Year
I was nursing Avery today, and Brady was sitting next to me on the couch. He's usually great when I feed her--he brings me books and I read, or he sits next to me and plays with her hair. Today, though, he reached out and grabbed a chunk of her hair. She didn't react the first time, so he did it again and she screamed. I told him no and pushed his little bottom toward the edge of the couch so he'd scoot off. Well, instead, I pushed him too hard and he fell off the couch, then slammed his chin against the coffee table. He started screaming, and he had blood in his mouth. I felt so awful! I picked him up right away and got him cleaned up. Luckily his teeth were okay and I guess he had bit his lip. He stopped crying pretty quickly (and I cried over making him cry), but I have replayed that in my head a million times. I can't get past it. Does anyone else have a "mom fail" moment to make me feel better?

Re: Mom of the Year
A couple of months ago Isabelle was running around the house and missed a step and ran right into the wall. She was crying and instead of helping her I laughed, almost hysterically b/c it was so funny to see someone just run right into a wall. I of course tried to hold it in for a minute to console her and in 5 seconds she was fine but as I am typing this I am laughing just remembering it. Isn't that awful!
Also between the 2 kids a dog and a cat I feel like I am always hitting one of the kids and knocking them over b/c one of the animals decides to walk inbetween my legs and knock me off balance. Thankfully this stuff happens when they are very little and too young to remember!

A few weeks ago, Alex was sitting on the counter (yes, the counter) while I was putting his coat on him. He went for the paper towel holder and fell right off the counter on to the floor. He cried, I cried, but he seems to have forgiven me
Last fall I shut C's fingers in the car door......yeah. Door completely shut. I felt AWFUL! He was hysterical and we ended up making a trip to the ER to make sure no fingers were broken. Luckily everything was fine but I felt like the worse mom ever.
