Being a mom is a very rewarding job! I get paid in hugs, laughs, and snuggles.

Recently, my son fell and scraped his head while in my care. I felt awful. How could this happen?? How could I let this happen??

Even though I knew he was fine, I took him to the ER to get his head checked. He’s doing fine now, but every time I looked at the cut I wanted to cry.

I learned a lot that day. I learned that accidents can happen to anyone- even to the best moms. Babies fall; they get bumps and scrapes, whether you are with them or not. I learned that no one is perfect. And, I learned that a kiss and a hug can help a child feel better after any injury.
