Boo Bear

Right after Jason was born we were given a boo-boo bear (see picture below). I put the little ice cube pack in the freezer and the bear in the cubbard with no intention of needing it for a LONG time. 6 months later I find myself scrambling to the kitchen to retrieve the boo-boo bear in hopes of bringing comfort to Jason's "boo-boo" (which is NOT the word I use, almost anything is better than boo-boo in my opinion).

It broke my heart to hear him cry when he hurt himself! I always thought my initial reaction to my child being hurt would be panic (maybe in certain situations that will be my reaction), but the Lord gave me a great peace, and I was able to calmly deal with the situation at hand. Right after I calmed him down and was giving him snuggles, I began to cry. I realized that no matter how hard I try I can't keep him from getting hurt. I didn't have some crazy idea that my kid would never get hurt if I always kept close watch of him, I just didn't think it would happen at 6 months old. He's an active little boy and he is bound to encounter some scrapes and bruises along the way, and I am going to have to learn to deal with it.

FYI-He is just fine! :)
