On Saturday I did not spend 3 hours in the Emergency Room with my 2 year old that tripped on the rug and smashed his poor little head on the coffee table. I did not keep him quiet and happy while waiting by giving him candy after candy, after candy. I did not feel annoyed that even though there was blood running down my child's face and into his eye that we had to wait 2 hours to be seen. I did not feel like crying for him when they wrapped him up in a big white blanket to hold him still and gave his poor little head stitches, I was not sad, and I did not wish it was me instead of him!
I did not tell my child that he could have a box of smarties when this was all over out of the vending machine down the hall, and I did not feel like kicking the silly thing when the time came it wouldn't take any of the money I had, and my child was devastated. He did not cry about this as he is 2, and he understands that sometimes things like this happen.
I did not think it was funny when Ethan got upset yet again when we came outside to snow, and he worried that it was now Christmas and we didn't even put our tree up yet!
When we came home Ethan did not make daddy feel guilty about the fall. Rick did not feel so bad that 2 minutes later the tree was being set up in my living room days earlier than I wanted it to be. Ethan was not happy about what he had just accomplished. Since setting up the tree was Rick and Ethan's idea I did not have to do it all alone, and it did not take me hours.
I was not exhausted by the end of the day, and I do think this is a routine I would like to do every Saturday!

ouch poor little guy. I am so thankful I haven't had to do the stitches thing yet (very surprised I haven't though!)
Sounds like you had a rough Sunday
oops I meant Saturday (not Sunday)
Oh,my, word. While scrolling down, reading your not-me's, (they were great, by the way, sorry about the stitches) I noticed your Ethan's name. MY oldest son is ETHAN RICHARD! Wow! He was born 12-31-02.
Oh I've been there. My daughter did the same thing when she was 18mths old and I don't want to ever have to hold a baby down while they get stitched. So sorry.
poor little guy! i hope he's feeling better!
