Next Generation

My 11 month old grandson pulled a small heavy. Aunt Fi and Grandpa were nearby. He had it done before they could get to him. Ash will be fine. Another badge of honor in the baby world. His mom is another story. She is worried someone will think she abuses him. Comes from when he rolled off the changing table several months ago. Going to the emergency room was traumatic enough. Being treated as though she was abusing her child because he had a bump on his head was quite another thing.
It is a very sad commentary when parents fear the bumps and bruises of everyday life will result in their child being removed. Good God, with that thinking, none of us would have lasted in our parents' homes. Nor for that matter, our own children.
