Dante and I were home for the evening and I was lounging on the couch with my eyes getting heavy. I wasn't asleep, but boy did I want to. The last heavy eyelids I felt a big "POW!" Dante threw a elmo measuring tape at my face right below my left eye. I jumped immediately and started crying telling him, "you hurt mommy". I couldn't stop crying. I felt I was crying a little too much, but I coudn't get over it. I was so shocked he did it and I was so relieved he didn't hit my eye. He started laughing at me which was odd. I assume that he's never seen me cry and probably thought my reaction was funny. I had him look at my face and show him that he hurt me and mommy is sad. I also had him say sorry and to give me a hug and kiss. He did it right away and immediately ran to give me a red block. I think that was him trying to help mommy and to make me feel better. ....and it did. :)
These are challenges we'll have to experience from time to time. Man oh Man...sometimes it's touch to be a parent!
