We just had this conversation last night..... Della was never an easy baby (she still isnt! HAHA) and I remember going back to work and almost being in tears daily just because I felt SO stupid... I couldnt remember anything, I seriously thought I would never regain my mental stability.... I could have just as easily - in a sleepless, stressed out stupor forgotten a sleeping baby in the back seat.... nothing is impossible. I can sit here all day long and say How do you forget your baby? but tragic accidents happen every day..... When trey was about 9 months old, he undid his own car seat and I had opened the door to our SUV and before getting him out, remembered something on the other side of the car. I left the door open and walked away - about the time I opened the car on the other side, I saw him start tumbling head first onto the driveway - I still to this day, do not know how I got around the car that quickly and caught him. That fall could have had a tragic outcome - it didnt mean I didnt love him, it didnt mean I was a bad parent - it just meant that sometimes bad things happen period. Forgotten babies - in a car or in the house when you start to leave, backs turned for a minute and a child runs onto the street, children are kidnapped from their own rooms..... we cant always blame bad parenting, neglect, children not being loved. Lets just remember that.
