She was calling "MOMMY, MOMMY!" over and over again like she always does when she wants to show me something and I was 50 feet away talking to Daddy and trying to tune her out so I could finish just one sentence. Then her calling got louder and higher in pitch and I ran towards the sound of her voice and when I came around the play structure, I saw her hanging (by her hands) from the monkey bars. I rescued her but her arms were in such pain from hanging there for so long. Like you, we told her to yell "HELP!" instead of "Mommy!" next time. Poor baby girl!<br /><br />What I don't understand is why two adults who were standing right next to her didn't help her. <br /><br />Anyway, sorry about the lovey in the earring incident! Can you teach her how to remove the back of her earring to unhook herself? I know how attached my girls are to their lovies and having it taken away would be so hard. Heck, I have my comfort items and wouldn't want to have to give them up!<br /><br />Donna<br />Our blog: <a href="http://2happy.typepad.com" rel="nofollow">Double Happiness!</a>Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717351421043156637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10518106.post-71987572350207339482009-07-20T07:49:27.499-04:002009-07-20T07:49:27.499-04:00It's so hard to know when to go in!

I thought you handled it really well, telling her to yell "Help!" Definitely don't beat yourself up.Kelley https://www.blogger.com/profile/14274542360842972389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10518106.post-67259696358302216382009-07-20T06:40:47.409-04:002009-07-20T06:40:47.409-04:00This used to happen to me when I was Katie Starr&#...This used to happen to me when I was Katie Starr's age. I had a furry bunny I slept with. You can imagine how silly that looked.<br /><br />These things do happen. You acted the same way a gazillion other mommies &/or daddies would & do.

Moms and dads are not perfect. Heck, at separate times in their lives I arrived home without one of the girls! So I turned around and made the trip back to town to pick up the left daughter at their Grandmother's house. Gee, you would have thought the daughter I had with me would mention that their sister was not in the car!!!
