I adore you.<br />I will going forward, okay?<br />But I need to tell you this from experience, you are not a bad mom and these weeks happen to me more than I want to admit.<br />Ella has ADHD and a side dish of anxiety so life has been lots of fun for me especially before I found out her diagnosis.<br />But even with my oldest who doesn't have any diagnoses, I had plenty of moments.<br />The time I was chatting it up at OUR local pool with my friends and the pool director came looking for me angrily, with Anna.<br />Apparently my four year old was lost.<br />And I had no clue.<br />But she was right here, playing and splashing with her friends a minute ago.<br />Yeah.<br />Ever since then, SHE HASN'T LEFT MY SIGHT.<br />;) <br />A few months ago, Ella and I were in two, TWO different stores in one week and she managed to wander three feet in the wrong direction from me and get herself lost.<br />She is seven years old, not a toddler but still old enough to call me and to remain calm enough to know I won't leave her.<br />She freaked out and was crying.<br />When both parents in each situation found me, I felt like mother of the year.<br />It has happened to the best of us.<br />Hang in there, momma.<br />You are doing a great job and sometimes, you just need to hear that.

I have also experienced the defiant jumping into the pool and have occasionally had to yell to strangers for help. <br /><br />Would it be possible to bribe him to come out of the right door?

And DAMN that it ...Ah.. he got away again, did he?! And DAMN that it was the same swim teacher, hopefully she has kids and understands. <br /><br />I totally gets those "worst mom" feelings sometimes and they often happen at the pool as well. Yes, old ladies, I did look away for .03 seconds and (of course) that is when my kid starts to gulp pool water.. The whole "jumping in to the deep end while staring you in the eyes" thing is so familiar. Although Avery normally just threatens it and sees my crazy "dont you DARE!" eyes and stops. This is probably because I do not have another child to attend to and can race over and put her in T.O.<br /><br />What I got from your stories? That you're willing to go to 4 PARKS AND THE POOL IN ONE DAY! That is legit #supermom territory. I'm not sure if you're joking about the leash, BUT I know a few moms who have them and there is no shame in using them for scary crowded times if you have a runner.

Losing his urinal privileges! Oh the indignity. It's so infuriating when they appear to be making a conscious and deliberate decision to do whatever the hell they want, regardless of what you say. Zu ran away from me up the stairs in the library the other day, forcing me to abandon the stroller (and Coco) as I chased her. But she has been good at the pool since we watched that DT episode about swimming and we sing "Listen to stay safe" in the car on our way there. I also wait for her to put on her listening ears (they do this at preschool). But she put on her listening ears before the library too. It totally depends on her unpredictable mood.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.com
