The Blame Game

I thought I would write a blog letting all of you know that Tader was naughty this week. He is to blame for breaking his first bone. I know what you are all thinking...."how could a 5 month old baby break a bone?" "What bad parents Dawn and Tom are for letting something like this happen". Well to ease every one's mind about my parenting abilities I must tell you that Tader didn't break his own bone, instead he broke Grandma Bobbi's pinky toe. Grandma was over on Wednesday night helping me hang pictures throughout my house and with all of the chaos that was going on, I guess Tader forgot to put his toys away. This whole situation made me realize how difficult parenting is. Tader says that Grandma put his bouncy in the middle of the room and Grandma says that Tader did it. As a parent I don't know who to believe. One is blaming the other and I have yet to get a consistent story between the two. I don't know if it is mother's instinct or what but something deep down inside of me tells me that Tader didn't put the bouncy there.... I could be wrong, he could have lifted his chubby butt out of the bouncy, moved it to the middle of the room then climbed into his walker without anyone realizing. Maybe Grandma made him mad when I wasn't looking. Maybe he thought "lets see how Grandma likes someone messing with her?" Regardless of who's fault it is, they both made up and Grandma was brave enough to come back over on Thursday to show us the damage. Tader took one look at the toe and felt really bad for her. She could barely walk and the pinky toes was black and blue and about 2 sizes larger than her big toe! Ouch!
