Cleaning Up My Act

A horrifying minute

Kathleen and Ethan are away for a couple of days so it's just Jaden (our 2 year old) and I and my goal was to convert her into a Daddy's girl.

So...she was eating oatmeal and had a tray in front of her. I went upstairs, came back down and she was slumped over in her chair.

"Jaden?"

No response.

I give her arm a tap. 

Nothing.

Slaps cheek. "JADEN."

Panicking, I open her mouth, open her clenched teeth and do a finger sweep to see of she was choking and she cried. She wasn't choking - SHE WAS ASLEEP.

Yup, I slapped and stuck my finger down the throat of a sleeping 2 year old.

Operation Daddy's Girl has hit a snag.

She screamed for Mommy for 10 minutes. I did too.

Oh that's terrible!

And yet, only because she's fine, very funny!

We all have those epic parenting fail moments. Welcome to our cult!
