Thanks for the Mac feedback Red. I’m actually on a Mac most of the time but haven’t tested the comments (this is a new theme for me). I’ll check it out.
I will learn from your mistakes and not leave the Bear in a shopping cart. 🙂 Of course, we can never keep our kids 100% safe 100% of the time.

😛 yeah, imagery and metaphor is my forte 😛 thanks for letting me crash your blog party 🙂 I really like your blog layout, but it does strange things inside the textbox when I type… maybe its just that I’m on a mac, but it did it on both mine, and my husbands laptops when I went to leave the comment using safari *scratches head*

Another great thing, searching for a positive outlook on our children getting hurt, is that we have to find a lesson to be learned… mine with the shopping cart was, ALWAYS put the kid in the car FIRST, even if it is cooler outside, it would be better for my kid to be warm and safe, then in danger outside the car, for you perhaps we learned that though your 3 yr old should be mostly stable on his feet, no place is ever really safe, for a daring, top-heavy toddler 😛 I swear its when we find ourselves at ease that things tend to go awry. 🙂

Oh the stories I could tell but won't because I don't want to scare you. That is one bit fat lip. Poor guy. I hope he is doing much better now. .-= jen´s last blog ..I Hate Spam =-.

In reply to Natira. I'm so glad you took the time to comment Natira, and thank you for the writing compliment. Jonah is almost all healed up now. Next we need to get him to the dentist, just in case. :(

In reply to RedRawlins. I never thought about the guilt fading as the scar does. That's a great analogy Red!

Hi Mel. Such a tramatic story! As a new mommy, I know I’m nervous about the day when I see my little girl in pain. They are so helpless! I’m rooting for little Jonah that his lip will continue to heal and this will all be a distant memory for ya! On another note, I LOVE your writing style! You have a wonderful ability to relate your experience in such a heartfelt way. Thanks for keeping us updated!

Yeah, One time a shopping cart rolled off the curb with my Scarlett in it, as I was trying to put the groceries into the car, and she got scraped up a little bit on her face, I remember I was so upset, I was like, someone should take my baby away from me, I can’t keep her safe! 😛 But it bothered me a whole lot more than her, as I had to wait for it to heal, so that the guilt could fade, with the healing. 🙂
