Its too easy of a target for kidnappers. I am a hoverer as well, especially at that place. Its too easy of a target for kidnappers.

So often, as parents, we're caught between feeling like we're being overprotective, or berating ourselves for perceived lapses. Still, in a situation like that, in a chaotic, turbulent environment, (with ample opportunity for the snatching of an unattended child) I don't think young children should be left unattended at all, and a toddler is especially vulnerable amongst all those unsafe (to her) contraptions and older children. I certainly think that the mother should bear the primary responsibility, but I also think that as good human beings, it is our responsibility to care for each other. That being said, I don't think that you shoud necessarily feel guilty for that little girl's accident. You had your hands full with your own children. You did a good thing by watching over this other child as much as you did. Hmmm….that’s a very, very good question.

His left ear was very infected! I had no idea, other then iritabillity he had none of the classic symptoms. he was put on antibiotics for the infection and i took him to our family doctor the following week, to make sure he was getting better. His infection is going down quite well, but the doc said he has fluid built up and that he would be surpised if my son can hear at all out of that ear. I am to bring him back in two weeks from now to evaluate teh fluid level, see if it is the same, more or has gone down. please help me! Id like to be educated on this when i go to the doctors! My email is valid if you would like to respond by email, or you can do so via comment on my blog! (oh, I found you VIA IT2M) i would be very interested in hearing more about the fluid in your sons ear as well as the type of surgery he/she had.
