Took a dive out the car door when I wasn't watching. I just about died when I saw that little bundle folded in half on the asphalt. I felt like a pile of steaming crap. She let me know how disappointed she was in my neglect but forgave me before I forgave myself. Once I knew she was okay, I felt unbelievably lucky to have this little girl.
Amazing what emotions emerge when someone hurts your babies. Especially when that someone is you.

I agree, I always feel so badly when I accidentally hurt my kids, but anyone who's judgmental of you doesn't understand what it's like to have a flock of kids who don't stay put!
Ugh! I can completely empathize with you there. Not sure why, but I've always been terrified of people choking, especially kids. ONE TIME I had my daughter in her high-chair and she was eating soft vegetables. I had to run to the bathroom and I swear I wasn't gone for more than 45 seconds. I came back and she was choking. That one incident probably shortened my life by about ten years or so... Shelby is 12-years-old now, and I still won't leave her alone while she's eating. When we have school groups at work, and they've brought lunches to eat there, I have to walk away. I cannot watch all those kids at once, but I find myself trying.
I'm glad the baby only has a 'bonked' nose, though!!
