Boo Boo Alert: Babies Fall

Ok I'm back cause I have something to say today. KJ my little guy who is about 17 months old fell yesterday. He fell and has a cut on his forehead. I freaked and when I freaked he freaked. My dad had to calm me down so I could really focus on him and get him the attention that he needed. Once the bleeding stopped and he was clean with Neosporin and a Band-aid and a bit of children's Tylenol, he was off running again.
Well me being the faithful partner that I am when his dad called from the ship to say hi and chat I told him what happened. He basically is telling me that I'm not watching him, I'm too busy with other things. He gets so upset he says he will "call me back". Mmm ok I turn off the phone and have not turned it back on until I have calmed down.

Men sometimes have no idea what it takes to keep a house running and a career. My partner is one one them. To that I say this: ( know some of you can relate)

1. I am here with these children 24 hours per day.
2. Somethings happen like falls, scrapes, accidents thats called life.
3. Daddy is on a ship and has no idea what this child is really doing on a day to day basis like keeping me running all day long to keep him out of things. Now if he falls and gets up ok. If he falls and doesn't THEN there is a problem that need medical attention right away or just a scooping up of the little person and some hugs and kisses to soothe and hurt ego.

I am trying to handle this the best I know how and that is silence right now while I think about how to communicate to my partner that he should never question my skills as a parent especially since he is not here, I do a darn good job of keeping my business, the house, bills and everything together and keep everyone happy all while tap dancing. No I'm kidding on that.
So the cell phone will stay off for now until I feel like I want to chat with daddy again. For now I just need to say to all parents who think that children will go through life without a bump or a bruise of any kind, you are sadly mistaken. They will fall physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually all through life and in all instances there will be some we can help them heal from and others we will only be able to stand on the sidelines and hold their hand as they maneuver through to thier own lives.

Thats all I have to say about that.

Til next time
