Watch Out!!

One of our duties as parents is to keep our kids away from things that can hurt them. We feel accomplished when a crisis is averted, and with small children this happens several times a day. Don't stick your finger in the light socket, don't cross the street without looking both ways, you get the picture.

What you don't think about is parents injuring their children accidentally. At least we didn't think much about it until daddy accidentally put Connor's head up in the ceiling fan while it was running. Yep, he's totally fine and didn't cry but a few minutes. Not a scratch or bruise on his big noggin. He and Keaton were hanging in his crib before bedtime and when Michael pulled Connor out of the crib he forgot that the ceiling fan was on high! After hearing several thuds he realized what he had done. Needless to say he felt horrible, and I'm sure it won't happen again. Connor was unphased, but we did start to wonder when he started to act like a cat with his meowing and licking. But that's just his current animal of choice, last week it was a mouse.
