Momversation: Parental mishaps

Note that I opted against using the title "Mommy Mishaps." I still can't hear or see the word "Mommy" without cringing, unless it's said or written by my son. But that's me.

What is that face I'm making? Good lord, me, your face could freeze like that! And just did, on video, and now everyone's looking at it!

Anyhoo! This episode is about those times we, the highly fallible parents of the world, have accidentally injured our children, either by neglect, sleep deprivation, or stupidity. Go over there and confess to your own, parents of the world! You know you have some. (And yes, fathers, you get to have them as well.)

I provided one anecdote for this video, but I didn't mention the time I fell asleep with Henry on my chest and he slid off me and onto the floor (fortunately at my parents' house, where they have carpeting); or the time I tried to slow him down as he toddled down the sidewalk, and in doing so, actually caused him to fall forward and smash his tooth into his lip; or--but let's stop there. Parenting is fun!

Exciting blog-related changes are afoot, which you will all soon get to enjoy. And then I can get resume my regular schedule of writing about my feelings and hair.
