Worst Mom Award


Today I got all three boys undressed to swim in their baby pool. I took them out onto the deck while I filled the pool and Wyatt and Sammy went and sat in the pool while it was being filled. Jonah stood on the deck and cried. I assumed that it was because he wanted me to pick him up , because he had been really clingy all day and I carried him around most of the day. After the pool was filled and the other two boys were happily playing and splashing around and Jonah was still crying, I brought him back into the house and looked him over. I checked his mouth to see if maybe he bit his tongue, but he didn't . I looked him all over because he was really upset and finally looked at the bottom of his feet. He had a blister on each foot from standing on the deck because it was so hot it the sun. I put my baby on the deck and he burned the bottoms of both of his feet!!!! Could I feel any worse???? I immediately put his feet in ice water (not fun for either of us) and cooled them off, but now he has a blister on the bottom of each foot. He wouldn't walk without crying for the rest of the night! Poor baby. We gave him Motrin before bed to see if it will help with the swelling, but tomorrow may be rough for him!
