I needed to go in early today and was in a rush, I've been sick, J hasn't been sleeping well, he was throwing tantrums this morning etc etc ending excuses.
I left my Chi on and he must have pulled it off the counter, DH is gone and didn't tell me about it today but j has a blister on his finger and my hot iron was in a different place than usual.
I feel horrible. Awful. J has had a rough enough week and I made a stupid mistake and got him hurt

don't beat yourself up. DD has gotten hurt so many times because we weren't more careful too.

Gosh, I'm sorry. I know how you feel, it's the worst thing to know that your LO got hurt because you were in rush/distracted/etc. DS fell of the bed recently because I was rushing around in the morning and wasn't focused on him. It's so hard to shake that feeling of guilt!!
But like @chopsuey said, don't beat yourself up over it. Tomorrow is a new day 
Plus, kids are resilient!

@chopsuey: @petunia354: *sigh...Dh just got home and I asked him about it (and was crying...). He told me he wasn't going to tell me bc he knew I'd beat myself up over it. Guarantee I won't be leaving my flat iron on the counter anymore

Aww- don't beat yourself up!! Mistakes happen and as long ad J is ok, then it's ok! Plus now you know that he can do that- so you won't leave it there. Hugs

@babyjmama: *huuugs* omgosh,honey:) that's ok---he will survive this one I think we will all make mistakes like this and I'm surprised I haven't yet (shocked!). A person can only *be* so careful; at some point mistakes will happen and life is stressful.
You're an awesome mommy; I know this from seeing it first hand!!

@babyjmama: Don't beat yourself up:( You are a fantastic mama and this is just the way life goes...You didn't hurt him, they're just so into everything and unstoppable that you would have to be a PERFECT person to keep up with that free of incident! We are human. We make mistakes. We kiss boo boos and have to move on. That's all we can do:) You are fantastic because J thinks your boo boo kisses really do heal boo boos:)

@babyjmama: no, when you walked away, I asked J : "does she beat you?! Blink twice if you want to go back to Michigan with me" he said he loved his momma:)

@babyjmama: aww, this stuff happens. J grabbed at my hair dyer last week while I was sitting on the floor with her while drying my hair. She cried when she touched the hot vent. I was really lucky that she didn't get a burn/blister, but she could have easily and I felt awful. We're good mamas... mistakes happen.

Aw it happens. When I was a baby my sister didn't close the bathroom door all the way and I crawled in and pulled my moms hot curling iron down. I have scars on my arm and leg from it. The good thing? I don't remember it at all! And neither will he!

Aww, try not to be too hard on yourself! When my DH was little, he pulled the actual iron down and got a burn on his cheek. No lasting scars and he has no memory of it. Though it did happen on family picture day so there is photo evidence, haha. It happens!

@babyjmama: aww don't feel bad!! Kids get into everything and anything..!! And besides, think of it this way... you'll NEVER leave it out again for sure!! That's what I always think whenever I make a boo-boo like that... at least it insures that I'll never make THAT boo-boo again.
When my brother was a baby he touched the hot oven door with his hand. While he was screaming and my parents ran around getting ice, etc. he wandered over to the stove and pulled a hot pan down onto the same arm that was burned. He had this cast-like bandage on his entire arm!! There are pictures!! He was fine, and that was a blistered ARM and not just a finger. I bet it's already almost completely healed by the morning!
