I earned myself "Mom of the Year" award yesterday

I'm almost embarrassed to tell people this, but since nothing serious came of it I suppose it's safe to share. Yesterday morning I had just fed Macy. She was laying peacefully on her Boppy pillow on the couch. Madison was also on the couch totally engrossed in Sesame Street or some other equally repetitive and annoying kid's show. I decided to get on the laptop and start finding giveaways to enter into from my friend's blog. This quickly became an extremely addicting habit. I heard Macy coughing (no big deal, she has a little cold). After about 10 minutes I walked back into the living room to find something I never thought I'd see. My sweet little baby looked like a Hershey's bar had attacked her. As I walked (almost ran) closer I realized what had gone on while I was feeding my new addiction. Madison was eating some Honey Nut Cheerios and some other chocolate cereal and decided it would be a good idea to share with her baby sister. Who can fault her for sharing so nicely, right? I was honestly too scared about Macy being sick to even get mad at Madison. Reluctantly (because I was embarrassed that I wasn't watching my children) I called the pediatrician's office to see if there was anything I should be doing for Macy or anything I needed to watch for. When the nurse called me back she laughed hysterically (not really that funny for me at the time, lady) and said just to watch to make sure Macy didn't still have something in her throat that would cause her to choke. She ended up being fine, and Madison and I had to have ANOTHER chat about her sister only being able to have milk right now since she doesn't have any teeth. I'm watching my mailbox for my "Mom of the Year" award to arrive, but now I don't think that's going to happen.

  1. That's not as bad as dropping your daughter on her hea... oh wait, nevermind.
    That really didn't happen. LOL
    Gotta give her credit for sharing.
    Did Macy like the snack?
