thanks for making me feel betta..
I think that our kids are really mischievous nowadays, they don't even know any danger that looms ahead of them!
pinnky: how is braden's toe?
chloemum: ya! i like the term - unreasonable cries!
mrs N:i think i'd panic if my kid gets fits.. the last few times i rushed her to a pd, only to be told to have to wait.. my other mother friends told me i shld've gone to kkh emergency dept, and i was like, didn't think of it! even when it happened a few more times.. i think as mothers and women, we do get overwhelmed with the emotion of the moment and sometimes forget the obvious logical things (which is what we need the daddies for
) about the article, it's really sad. i can guess that the parents were just trying to get baby to get used to sleeping in a room on his own.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] it's really sad
i have a few incidents to share
1) over the weekend, I left a styrofoam box in the living hall.. and later found my gal chewing bits of it..
2) when i was picking up my hp in the kitchen while carrying my gal in the other hand, she was trying to grab the knives, hot water pot etc,
so dangerous!
3) and and when i was a the doctors yest and let her chew on a longan which the fruit stall uncle gave her and i was just happily fbing with my hp when i double checked, i was shocked that the seed was missing! i kindda panicked and started digging her mouth / throat for the seed, less she chocked.. and it finally came out..
kena chided by the friendly and concerned nurse, older ladies at the clinic!
4) stroller fall on baby incident. it happened 2x. once when i was busy working and Cally was just behind me fiddling with the strings of the stroller. i heard a few low pitched " eh, eh eh" and dissed it off as regular whines for attention.
then after a while i decide to check in on Cally and turned my back, but cldn't find her.
what i saw was the stroller on top of her! and her tiny arms were waving below the stroller. it looked hilarious (waving arms and stroller mark on face) and but i felt so sorry for her.
2nd time (a week later) was when Cally was sitting up and pulled the stroller down on her.
this time i was more sensitive to the "eh eh eh"s and found the stroller cupping her body in the sitting upright position.
finally it dawned upon me to just put the stroller away in a room where i can close the door.
:/
in retrospect, all these are avoidable incidents, but like they say, accidents happen in a moment of neglect. it is so true!
yet when we remind the hubbies to be careful etc, we sometimes get told not to "worry too much", or be too "protective"
what a dilemma
