Minor mommy fail.

neonrain · July 2011

We take a little stroll every morning, and lately, along our route, some sprinklers have been on. Yesterday, they weren't really sprinkling on the sidewalk, so we made a game of it and ran through (I hate having to get off the sidewalk and then back up, PITA). The Radish loved it and didn't get a drop on her.

Well today, DH came along. Once again the sprinklers were on. I was all, "Oh it's ok, we ran through yesterday and it was totally fine!" So off I go, saying "WHEEEEE!" like an idiot, noticing that I'm getting a lot more drops on me than yesterday. When we get through I look in at the Radish and she's looking all shocked and is all covered in tiny water drops. I felt so bad but almost died laughing at her face, it was so cute. She looked kind of surprised and stunned but not upset in anyway.

H freaked of course (he's such a mother hen) and I dried her off and she started shrieking in delight and was just fine. he's like, "Oh dear should we go back, will she get cold?" and I told him not to be ridiculous, the child runs like a furnace, it's already 70 degrees out here and she wearing a helmet, that was probably the highlight of the day. Haha! My special child. So it was slight fail on my part but no one got too upset, well except for DH, but he'll live. Told him to go but on his big girl pants and we'd all be ok.

Oh daddys and thier little girls! DH gets the same way, he's so over protective. He's all "ZOMG IS SHE OKAYYY!?" and I'm all "she's fine!" Happens almost daily.

Thats a Mommy Win, not fail. You took your kid for a nice little ride through some cool sprinklers. What is YH going to do when she gets older, not let her run through on her own cause she might get wet? Puh-leez.
