Accidents happen :(
I'm very sad today. My poor little girl has a broken ankle :(We were riding my bike yesterday and she was on the back and her foot got caught in the back tire, she lose a lot of her ankle skin and it broke. I feel so guilty. I know accidents happen but it's a weird mixture of feelings... First we were having so much fun, laughing and enjoying ourselves. Getting some alone time just for us and the next moment she's crying and screaming and injured. And I can't stop thinking that it's my fault. She's sleeping now and I hope she will feel better tomorrow but it's so hard to look at those sad eyes. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of this but it's the first time something like this happens and she's my daughter and I feel her pain.
This was supposed to be a very different weekend but we can't control what happens next so now we'll have to change plans. I bet there should be a lot of activities to do sitting. Besides painting, drawing and watching tv... any other ideas?

A super hug. and as you say, accidents happen, but as mothers is painful to see our children unhappy.
Los niños son inquietos y estas cosas pasan.
Asà que dale muchos mimitos y ya veras que pronto se recupera.
Besitos.
hope you and your sweet girl have have a pleasant day today!

Te entiendo perfectamente, pero la culpa no sirve para nada, cada uno actua lo mejor que sabe en ese momento. Ojalá encuentres algo positivo de la experiencia. Llena a tu pequeña de besos y si te hace sentir mejor pÃdele disculpas pero somos mamás y aunque nos gustarÃa proteger a nuestros pequeños por encima de todo, no tenemos superpoderes.
Un beso grandote para las dos
Hate to tell you this but it never ends, we feel their pain forever. I feel my son-in-laws pain now too! So don't be so hard on yourself. You're a good mom with wonderful intentions.
When my daughter was just over two I started playing cards with her! A game called up the river. You match the cards one after the other...first person starts with any card...say it's a 3 of clubs...the next person puts down either a club or a 3.... of course the 3 would change the suit. 2's and jacks are wild...so you can change it to any suit. If you can't play you pick up a new card. The person to get rid of all their cards first wins! It's fun and helps with math skills. When she got older we played rummy, and open handed crib... She was always good at math and loves numbers...me not so much.. lol
Oh and you could get a puzzle. Or take an old puzzle put it together, let her make art on it....then destroy it and do the puzzle together with her art on it!!
All the best of luck!

You should make paper dolls together, build little houses for them, and play imagination games. My children LOVED it when I played imagination games with them.
Same thing everyone was happy, Then suddenly Rowan was screaming.~Scarey~
But, she is recovering very nicely.~
~We have a large basket full of fun stuff by the chair she sits in.~Play-Doe, books, beads,markers, coloring books ect.~But, now is a nice time to have a Tea Party~ do it up all pretty w/ flowers & nice cookies.~
~Danita, she will get all better~ Much love to both of you !~
I always feel awful when i think of my daughter My daughter who broke her ankle at 15 (2 plates and 9 screws Yikes!) and I said to the school just put an icepack on it.
She tends to be a bit dramatic. and I thought she was crying wolf.... anyway we do have funny stories to tell from that time.
It will become part of your daughter's history and I'm sure she is been fussed over and spoilt.( It's the guilt thing!!!)
My daughter especially loves telling everyone that I said I'm sure it's fine, just put an icepack on it. Meanwhile that does sit in the pit of my stomach when she says it..... I'm an awful mother!!!!!
A big hug!
