Mitchell's BIG Injury...

Well, it's official...Mitchell has had his first injury thanks to his irresponsible mommy!! I feel SOOO bad!! I brought them inside after we had been running errands and they needed a bottle. Parker was asleep, so I just laid him on a chair in our living room. Mitchell was awake, but very tired, so I just laid him on the boppy on the couch and ran in the kitchen to put their bottles together (how STUPID!!!). All of the sudden I heard screaming like I have never heard before...it was MITCHELL!!! He had fallen off the couch and was laying in the floor screaming!! I felt like I had committed child abuse!! He looked up at me with giant billowing tears rolling down the sides of his fire engine red cheeks!! There was no bleeding, bumps, or bruises but, I know he was thinking, "mom, you are a failure!! how could you do this to me??" My heart dropped to my feet as I knelt down and scooped him into my arms!! By this time Parker was most definitely awake and looking at me with total fear as if he thought I was going to pick him up and throw him in the floor!! It was awful!!! Hopefully, this will be one of those things that we can look back on when they're older and laugh, but for now it was terrible!! I really felt like I was going throw up or something!! But, once we sat down I looked at him thinking he would just keep crying and never trust me again, but to my surprise he looked up at me and gave me a huge smile with a look in his eyes that almost said, "hummm, this gets her attention pretty quick!!" So, I am trusting that he really was hurt and pitiful and he and Parker weren't sitting in here scheming on how to get my attention!!
