I was at my friends house. Levi was on the floor. My friend's little boy went to jump over Levi, but tripped and fell on him instead. Levi started screaming, and I picked him up to comfort him. This is when a cool mom reassures everyone that things are okay and then they really are. Did I do that? NOPE. Not content with a screaming baby, I start crying too, probably scaring the poor little boy into thinking something is majorly wrong, so he gets upset too. Then his mom is upset because her baby is upset. (Actually, she was the cool mom here, and ended up reassuring me and her little boy.) So we all calm down, and I head for home. So far, I haven't been cool, but I haven't been that lame yet either. It gets worse.
I call Patrick to tell him what happened, and start crying again when I tell him what happened. He actually comes home from work because I am such a baby. Here's where it gets even better. Not only does he come home, he tells me to go take a nap. I guessing he wanted me to take a nap because I was blubbering like a tired 5 year old after a morning of grocery shopping.
So I take a nap, and when I wake up, I realize how lame I was and hope my friend's little boy wasn't still feeling bad. And here is how Levi was feeling:
If you loo on the right side of his face, you can see the little pink mark he got getting rough with the boys.
And later you couldn't see it at all!
You can tell he was over the whole thing, and I am still kind of teary when I think about it...
So there you have it. I am officially a sissy mom....

hahahahaha! My kid was in the hospital and I didn't cry once lol. I was kind of in denial about the whole thing. Yours could be post-partum and also lack of sleep. Lack of sleep can effect a lot of your moods and emotions. I get teary eyed when I don't get a lot of sleep.
As the "other mom" in this story, I have to say I was not as "cool" as I seemed. I'm freaking out, thinking, Why does it have to be MY kid? Why did he have to trip over Levi? Is Levi really hurt? Is Jenny ever going to speak to me again? I've broken Jenny--she's crying!
And then we go to Patrick's surprise party and my other twin trips and breaks their mirror! Jenny is just going to avoid our whole family, except our baby who hopefully will be Levi's best bud someday!
