Olive has been waking up a lot at night lately because she's super congested. Last night I was so tired that I fell asleep nursing her, and woke up when she fell off the boppy onto the hardwood floor and started crying! Doh!
Have you had any mom fails lately?

Oh! I feel bad for you, but I also kind of laughed. 
We started this new thing with DD. She's been really whiney lately, so we have a list all the things she has to do during the day (from morning routine to bedtime routine) and everytime she does a task without whining, she gets a sticker for her chart. We explained it to her last night, and she was so excited she got up at 5am this morning so she could start earning her stickers. 
It was supposed to motivate her, but we didn't realize she'd be THAT excited about it!

@Honeybee: 
Me too. Cute about the stickers. My parents did that with my brother and taught him to tell time--he got a sticker for waiting till 7 30am, too.
I was playing airplane with him and lost my balance fell over and we both hit the floor a bit hard. Oops!

Aww haha I'm sorry I feel bad but did laugh a little! I know I have definitely come close to doing this! My bad mommy moment was last week in Target I was holding dd while shopping and also holding a little pair of shoes that I was going to get for her. While looking at something else and not paying attention, she jammed the little hanger from the shoes into her mouth and hurt her gums! No bleeding or cut or anything but I had a wailing baby in the middle of Target.....instant mommy guilt!

Oh no! Haven't had a mom fail lately, but Lo rolled off the bed when she was around 5-6 months because I had her up on our bed and I fell asleep.

Poor you and Olive! I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but also laugh a little. No mom fails come to mind as of late, but I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting.

I laughed, too, whoops! I'm sure it's not her first little bonk and it certainly won't be her last I always thought *NOBODY* dropped their baby, but my MIL told me that DH got dropped off a bed once, haha. Oops. It happens!

I left a naked E on the ground (on a changing mat on our carpet) earlier while I went to grab a fresh diaper from the dryer. In the 20 SECONDS I was gone, he pooped...and when I came back, he was covered in it. All over his legs, up his back, on his chest IN HIS HAIR...

LO hasn't fell yet at 6 months old, I'm sure it will happen soon, he's constantly on the go!

Yep. When my youngest just started sitting up I turned my head for one second and as I was turning my head back I saw him fall onto his back and his head hit partly on the low pile rug and hardwood floor. The cry that came from him was total pain. Oops! It happens!

Poor Olive! I admit, I also laughed a little. My kids have totally fallen off things before. No big fails lately (I think?) but Wonder Baby is constantly tumbling because she's learning to pull up and sit well and crawl on her knees....

Not lately but a couple months ago I was sitting on the couch holding DS and he slipped forward hitting his face on my knee. I felt so bad. He screamed and screamed, thankfully no black eye. He was about 4 months old

@FutureMrsMcK: haha! That one is really hilarious and you can tell it to LOs friends in high school. Amazing!

OMG, I'm so sorry you're so tired!!! No serious mommy fails these days except for the occasional loss of patience resulting in the raising of voices and tears

Aw, poor Olive! M hasn't fallen yet but I've bashed her head a few times. Oooops.

I had to say something. Then today I forgot to put TG's pull up on at naptime and she totally peed all over. Fail.

Yesterday I realized that for the past few days I have been cleaning DD and DS's grapes with all purpose counter spray. DH was horrified. Well so was I. Apparently I got the bottle of veggie spray and cleaning spray mixed up even though they are completely different shapes bottles. Fail! at least it was honest company brand. First ingredient is water. Right ?

I have one. I put LO down for bed the other night. Turned on his night light, and closed the door behind me. I could hear him for the longest time and was wondering why he hadn't fallen asleep yet. When I went to check on him and cover him before I went to bed I realized I left his ceiling light on. I never turned it off after I turned the night light on. I felt soooo bad!
