mother of the year......

my poor baby! well, gracie rang in her 5 month birthday with her first accident...i was attempting to clean her up after a HUGE poopy diaper...after doing what i could with wipies, i buckled her into her changing table and ran into the bathroom to start filling her tub. when i returned a minute later this is what i found......





this, and muffled screaming from what sounded like far away. i proceeded to scream her name and then saw her little legs and bottom, still nudie, sticking out of her clothes hamper!! she apparently had wiggled backwards and gone headfirst into her hamper, which, THANKFULLY, was right next to her dresser and pretty full. O.M.G! i scooped her up as quickly as i could, wrapped her in a soft blankie and snuggled her while she wailed for about a minute or two. she calmed down quickly and was even her smiley self just a couple minutes later. thank GOD she wasn't hurt, just scared, and i think my heart started beating again sometime the next day.....

okay, so bring on the laundry jokes-patrick hasn't let up since it happened............

  1. Thank god for dirty laundry! Glad she made a safe landing...See you were worried about her muscle control & use..LOL I guess she moves better then we give her credit..I'm sure Esther will want lessons once shes a teen on how to escape me. Oh Yeah Esther got her glasses and looks way to grown -up..PS Your a great MOM! Love you Dawn

  2. aww... i'm sure that was TERRIFYING! but knowing that she's o.k. it is really funny to imagine her bare butt and feet waving! Maybe I should surround our changing table with dirty laundry. Caroline is itching to throw herself off of it- even though we don't dare leave her (not that you did anything wrong in leaving gracie, caroline is just too aggressive a mover for us to have taken that chance for the past month plus!)! I imagine she could do so with us right there!
