Parent fail #3

[Here]

Last week , I took my daughter on an outing without knowing she had an ear infection. I thought she was just warm from being outside. Then, I took her to daycare without noticing a fever and they couldn't reach me or my husband for three hours. A couple days later she fell off the sofa twice.

I was giving her BM in her bottle at daycare and WCM in her sippy at home. Since she was sick and home a lot last week, I only gave her a bottle with medicine mixed in once or twice when she protested the medicine. I have a few bags left of BM and she is one so i didn't take a bottle to daycare this morning. She was doing well on the sippy, i thought. She saw a few other toddlers in daycare with bottles and was pretty upset all morning. They called me to ask if I had a bottle.

I'm sure next week they will call and tell me my kid is biting everyone.

I'm sorry, I have those weeks too.

And my kid's a biter

Ugh, can't type on iPad.

Ha. I don't even attempt to correct anymore. I just (hope) assume that people get what I'm saying.

Hugs. You are doing the best you can. ( as a mother and as a typer)

Last week, our child fell and has been sporting a huge purple then yellow bruise in her cheek. Looks like she is dirty or abused. I am also trying to convert her to a sippy cup for milk. If we go out and it is milk time, I just take the sippy. Usually she realizes she has no choice and drinks it. Not today. Bruised crying baby all the way home for the bottle.

Awww, I'm sorry :-( We've all had those weeks!

I'm sure you are way more upset over any of it than your daughter, though :-) And, at least she won't remember it!

It's ok, we all have those moments. You're doing fine. :-)

I've sent a kid to school assuming she was perfectly fine - good appetite at breakfast, no fever that I've noticed, no complaints - only to get a call from the clinic an hour later that my kid just threw up and/or has a temperature. Quick trip to the ped and of course there's strep, an ear infection, or something else I had no clue about.
