[quote=Anonymous]First child (almost 7): pretty minor for the most part: worst was put her in her car seat and a blanket over her and arrived home to discover I’d never buckled her in. Not dangerous but one I felt awful about at the time was when she had a diaper blowout on the metro coming home during an ice storm. I got off at DuPont circle but it was too gross out to take her anywhere. I laid my coat (waterproof side up) in the platform at a quietish end and changed her but had no spare clothes and it was freezing so then I wrapped her in my coat and got on the next train. Luckily my DH was home and was able to meet me at my stop ( a few later) with clothes for her. No one seemed surprised or confused by a baby (about 15 MOs at the time) wearing a diaper and a grownup coat and nothing else. Also with her I ignored her for a few days when she said her bellybutton hurt. Then a notice came from the daycare re: strep exposure and I got her checked and she had strep. The ped said some kids only have stomach pain with strep. We’ve since moved and our ped looked at me like I was insane the first two times I came in for her “belly button pain” but they were both incidents of strep

Second child (now 2.5): there was the time she grabbed her sister’s very hot pizza slice and burnt her face (a different post); the time on vacation she grabbed my wedding ring and engagement ring and popped them in her mouth (I flipped her upside down, one came out immediately but we couldn’t find the engagement ring...after 15 mins on the phone with the ped I found it on the rug) and the very worst was similar to op - I was watching my older daughter and didn’t realize my then 18 mo old had left the sandbox. I frantically searched the playground and couldn’t find her and then spotted her running around in the neighbor’s yard across the street. It’s a fairly quiet street, but I cried and cried. [/quote]
