This is me being real-(Bad Mom Moments)

What do we usually blog about. Well of course, rainbows and sunshines. But life isn't always like that and I am not about to say that I am perfect, so I decided to make some confessions.
1. We were eating dinner at my mom IL's house and I was cutting up kennedee's food for her on her high chair. I finish and go ahead and sit down. My mom IL starts laughing and I look back to see that I have left the knife on the high chair and now "K" is playing with it. Ashley, where are your brains?
2. I was getting in the car to go train a client, ignition on, check mirrors, start driving..................I made it about 2 blocks, when I feel a little tap tap on my shoulder ("K" gives me the look that says, "uh, mom were you planning on buckleing me into my carseat?) I'm glad I hadn't gone farther. I told my sister about the incident and she confessed it also happened to her. Yeah, I'm not the only one.
3. From a little age we would build block towers and teach Kennedee to come knock them down. It was cute and we would laugh. But then one day when I picked up "K" from the kids club, the staff told me that Kennedee was knocking down all of the other kids lego towers and laughing histerically. Oops! Who knew the skills we teach her at home, don't transfer well into real life.

If you so wish to help me not feel like such a bad mom, please share one of your moments. (Not assuming that you have any bad moments).

QUESTION # 6
What was one of your "bad" or "funny" mom moments?

I have done the car seat thing more times than I want to admit to.

I've pretty much done all of the above! Haven't we all?

Glad to get back into touch again. It's been a while for sure! Your family is adorable!

When Shaersti was one I put her car seat in the middle without a tightening shoulder belt. It had been there for a few days and had apparently loosened. I turned a corner and her whole car seat tipped and fell completely on its side. Oops!

Hey, Ashley! I got your comment...so good to hear from you! It's been forever!!! I was laughing so hard when I read your memory...how could I ever forget the toilet papering incident?!! I was terrified! Too funny!

Alright, for my "Bad Mom Moment"...we have a big dog that, being the pushover that I am, stays inside the majority of the time. He's great until Boston eats, and then he helps himself to Boston's food. I started giving him a little swat on the nose and saying no. Now, whenever Boston sees a dog, he runs over, starts yelling gibberish at it, and swats it on the nose. Why can't they do what we say, not what we do?!! Sorry for the novel! Keep in touch!
