Being a Mom

Dear Teagan:
Being a mom is rather interesting. I guess it's also not limited to just being a mom either. I guess it's being a parent in general.
Your father and I both do some crazy things to entertain you or distract you or comfort you. Like the other day you were crying while I was getting you dressed, so I made you laugh by using your foot as a telephone. Then I started biting it. You thought that was so funny. Now had anyone seen, I would have felt very foolish. But you always laugh at the stupid stuff I do.
Then yesterday I had my bad mom moment. You always sleep
good in our bed for naps. Usually daddy or I go in and lay with you for a while til you fall asleep and then put baracade you with pillows and leave the room. You always wake up crying so we always go in and get you before you have time to move. Well, yesterday, same deal. Only you didn't cry when you woke up. You were making the same noises you make when you try to fall asleep, so I didn't go right in. I figured you'd go back to sleep. But you didn't. You tried to get off te bed yourself I guess. I heard a thump
and ran in. You were on the floor not moving or crying. As soon as I scooped you up, you started crying. It took quite some time to calm you down. I was panicking. Finally you calmed down and I tried to distract you with a ball. You went to try to crawl
and fell on your face and cried. So I was certain your arm or something was broken. I cried. I felt so bad. It was all my fault. I called nana to come over and see what she thought. She told me she thought your should was dislocated and that you should be seen right away. I felt horrible. Then daddy and all his friends got back. It was his bachelor party and he had gone golfing and came back here for a cookout. He was worried and a little upset with me for letting it happen. Uncle Todd looked at it and figured out that it was your wrist. I took you to grandmas so she could observe you and we decided on motrin and trying to rest it. Now today you're back to army crawling because it stil hurts you to put weight on it. I'm still unsure if you need to be seen by a doctor or not. I know they'll want to do xrays.
We'll keep an eye on it for another day or so and we'll see.
I'm so sorry baby.
I love you to the moon and back!
Love,
Mommy
