The Parents Of The Year Award goes to….

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on December 23, 2007

Definitely NOT us!

As we were pulling out of our parking spot today, leaving church, our good friend comes running wildly towards our car, yelling “STOP”….

WE LEFT OUR BABY IN THE ATRIUM OF OUR CHURCH!!

How could we be such horrible parents? I am beside myself with shame and humiliation for forgetting my child!

Fortunately Noah will never remember that his parents almost left him at church, but I always will….

Ugggh!!

Okay, so it wasn’t really that bad – Noah was asleep and safe, with Phil and Cami. (Thanks, guys!) Besides, we hadn’t actually left church yet, and never would have made it very far without him. But, still….

This isn’t actually the first time that I’ve done one of my kiddos wrong, just this week!

The other night we were all having a nice sushi dinner with Phil and Cami. (hmmm.) Ben started squirming in his booster seat, and one of the lovely servers came over and was telling him to be careful – You know, kind of looking at me to take care of him. (nice, huh?)

Yeah well, because my kiddos sit in boosters quite often and hardly ever fall, I told her that he was okay, and continued eating (yes, and talking).

No sooner than I put another bite in my mouth, Buddy Boo FELL OUT OF HIS CHAIR, right on his face. I jumped up, grabbed him, and sat back down to eat my humble pie.

Well, my poor baby began bleeding everywhere. Oh, and he was screaming, too… I could see the waitress telling the others, “I told her so.”

Ben was fine after a bit – He did manage to only escape with fat lips and a sore nose.

But I think I’m scarred!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has been so horrible. It will make me feel better, somehow, I’m sure!
