Horrible Mom

Ok, I finally did it. I did something I swore I would never do. All moms do it once to atleast one of their children. But, I was going to be the exception. I dropped Colton. That's right, I'm an idiot. Here's how it happened:

I got Colton in his carseat, which was up on the couch, so I could go get Aaron from work. The phone rang. Something told me that I should just let the answering machine get it. Nope, didn't listen to that thought. The phone was upstairs, so I left Colton in the carseat, ontop of the couch, and not buckled in yet and ran upstairs to get the phone. When I answered the phone I heard a thump and instant crying. I said, "oh, my gosh," and Anne who was the one on the phone asked, "What, did he fall? I'll let you go." While this conversation was going on, I had run down stairs and saw Colton lying face down on the floor with the car seat on top of him.

I felt so horrible. I don't know how I could have let my little baby do that. I held him for a bit until he stopped crying. And of course, all was well. It probably scared him more than it hurt him.
