No more monkeys

Standing in the tub. Mother of the year let him stand. He slipped and hit the ramp end of the tub. Three stitches for Micah! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip....

Fail.

Oh no!! But what did he hit?!

I let laney stand in the tub all the time but we have a non-slip mat in there.

I hope he is okay soon!!! Don't worry, accidents happen!

[vthokie]

Aww. Poor bug! Mine face planted on the concrete today. Hope he's feeling better soon!

[silverjm]

Oh no! I hope he heals up quickly.

I'm sorry! H slipped in the tub a few times when he was little (we got away with just some Goose eggs), even with the non slip mat over the entire bottom and me being right there - it happens!

He  hit the flat part of the tub. We have a giant nonslip mat over the whole bottom but he just slipped. Hard. Poor guy. I feel awful.

Aww, poor Micah and Mommy! It happens though. I was standing on a window sill when I was 3 and fell a funny way. My head hit the ledge and I ended up with 7 stitches. My parents and grandmother were right there. Don't beat yourself up too bad!

Awww poor Micah! Emmy loves standing in the tub and we always tell her to "sit on your bum" or we end the bath time. I didn't start doing this but quickly adjusted after she slipped once and got a mouthful of water and was NOT happy. It freaked me out. So sorry you guys had to go through this!

Awww, poor little guy!

[imimahoney]

Oh no! Poor Micah

Ari tries to stand constantly. Even with the mat he will probably fall. He is starting to learn that standing = bath time being over.

[katfco]

Poor thing! Don't feel bad, accidents happen.

[kandrze1]

Aw, poor baby! 

[SteelCity44]

Thanks ladies. I know some of you are strict about no standing in the tub, and all I kept thinking of was that everyone would shake their finger at me. Our battle is keeping ear plugs in. And he was trying to make himself pee in the tub which was hilarious, then Boom! I guess we'll have a new rule now. No more monkeys standing in the tub.

Are you letting your LOs stand in their pools? Will this get more confusing now?

[mrsjaymay]

Poor baby!!

[jenbelle]

Poor sweetie! Just remember- scars are tattoos with better stories!!!

[The Foozzler]

Poor Micah,. Tell him clicks dig scars.

[dixeedeluxe]

Aw man!

Tub standers here. No slipping at all! It's from bru and is like the shelf liner stuff.

It's comical after poop incidenta when I need to take the mat out but re bathe the kid. She slips SO MUCH and looks at me in horror like "Ma what is this!"

[browneyedhunni85]

Poor baby. Christian likes to stand too and it's just a matter of time.

[rileym2010]

Oh no! Poor guy.

Poor guy!

Oh no! Lillian isn't into standing in the tub but she's in a tub, in a tub so she likes to reach for toys over the edge of her mini tub with her butt in the air. Hope he feels better, and you too!

[spaghetticat]

Omg this so should've been me tonight, too, so if you're a bad mother, so am I. She kept standing and I kept saying I was going to take her out and then whoosh! For a split second I was terrified that something terrible had happened. She didn't even cry but I was still scared bc I thought she hit her head. My point is, this is sooo common and such an easy thing to happen. Don't beat yourself up. I can't imagine how terrible you must've felt in the moment. ugh. I'm sorry.

[charlielove]

It happens to all of us. I hope he is feeling okay. Hugs!

[tuck]

Aww, poor baby! Accidents happen to everyone. Holden has a scar right by her eye from where she ran into a chair.

[carawestt]

Poor Micah! Hope he feels better soon.

[jaime183]

poor buddy! don't feel bad, accidents happen

[kemangel124]

OH NO! Poor poor Micah. I'm sorry Steel, I am sure you feel awful, but accidents do happen.  He looks so sad in that picture.  Hopefully he feels better really soon.  Poor baby.  Give him lots of extra love tonight!

[bean47]

Aw, poor guy.

[biblionerd]

Awww, poor guy. It happens, don't worry! I still keep poor Fiona in her baby seat/ring thing because the two kids are INSANE in the tub together. So instead of fighting it I just take the easy way out.

Poor guy, poor mom.
