I am the worst mom ever!
First off, I walked to Cyle's work (a 10 minute walk) with Xander in 105 degree weather. Probably not the best, but he had his new had and sunglasses on as well as the camelback & a wet washcloth to cool him down. But when we got to the store I wasn't paying attention and turned my back for literally 2 seconds to put a book back on the shelf and he wiggled his way out the end of the stroller and fell to the ground hitting his head! I have never been in more shock and/or heard my little guy scream so loud! It broke my heart! I cried for like 2 hours straight! My mom tells me that this happens at least once to everyone, but it didn't make me feel much better. I still feel like the worst mom in the world!

Jamie-I can't even begin to tell you how many times this kind of thing has happened with Jakson....and somehow he has gotten this far unscathed. I think it will probably get to the point where he will fall and you won't even flinch :)
Like today when Jakson decided that rather than slide down the pole at the park, he was just going to jump off-that's like a 7 foot drop. He didn't even cry. Ah, the joys of boys.
Bethany is right...both my kids have fallen on their heads many times! It's just harder when it happens with your first I think (not that its hard with the 2nd, but you realize its just part of growing up). Don't beat yourself up, it will happen again (just to warn ya :-)
Jamie -
If you are the worst mom, we all have to hold the title with you. It really has happened to everyone. Plus, my Xander is one tough little guy. You are actually a wonderful mothers, and I am so happy that you are the mother of my first grandson!
Love you!
