linny12 Situations like that are always awkward. If DS falls but seems ok I never want to make a big deal of it in case it upsets him.
This reminds me of an issue I'm having right now when we're at the library or open gym and another kid takes something from DS or pushes or hits him and the parent isn't watching so he/she doesn't do anything. This is really awkward for me. I don't want to reprimand someone else's kid buuuut I also don't want them being a shithead to my kid.
Usually it's W that's pushing or hitting so I didn't know what to do on this side, haha. The dad was super attentive and was concerned, which is what got W crying in the first place.
If he hadn't said anything I'd have probably told the kid that wasn't nice and pushing isn't ok. I'm fairly comfortable with gently correcting other people's kids, because I'd want them to correct W if I wasn't. I think that stems from working with the preschoolers at church though. I'm constantly reminding the older kids to be gentle with the younger ones!
corrys12, I'm sorry you're feeling that way but it's completely understandable. 3T trying to get W really changed the way I look at pregnancy, both my own and that of others.
I hope it happens for you as soon as the time is right.
And while I don't know your whole story, I can tell you that sometimes bodies change and randomly work on their own. I hope that's the case for you!
Thanks all. C is fine. Then Pukes. Then is fine. Then pukes. She's currently playing and avoiding a bath.
I feel guilty for being so bummed about my lack of free day tomorrow. But I'm just really bummed. I haven't looked forward to something like that in quite awhile!
bwisco123 I hope C gets over it soon. I'd be bummed about lack of a free day too, hopefully she can at least be over the puking so you don't have to deal with that all day as well.
It's Friday already here, this week has just disappeared. Monday was wasted then I've had a cold all week (and I really hate colds in summer). We've got a friends 50th tomorrow. We're taking him out for the day to get his present then a surprise dinner with a few other friends. I need to make his cake today because I won't have time tomorrow.

Anyone would be bummed if their day of fun got replaced by a day of cleaning up puke. Hope she feels better soon!
W and I had such a nice day in the warm weather. We went to a park and there was a 2 year old boy there too. They were playing fine until he pushed W off the play equipment. It wasn't a big fall but W was stunned.
His dad told him that it wasn't nice and had him hug W, and I just gave her a hug and told her she was OK, but I didn't really know what to say.
Like kids shove and push and it's not nice, but she was OK, so was I downplaying her feelings? Probably overthinking this, haha
Eek, I try to be sort of hands off at the playground but I am usually like 2 feet away from S. On the off chance he tries to push or tug another child AND in case someone tries to push him.
But S is pretty tough. He takes spills all day everyday and we just tell him "up-up" he only really cries if it was a bad fall or he banged himself hard.
I'm sure you did just fine. Mommy hugs fix most toddler problems!
