I keep thinking about before..

Before C. I would have told you that I wanted to tell everyone that God loves them and is inviting them to his party aka Heaven.  Then I would have said I wanted to help parents to keep their children safe.

This would be my ordinary psa–

be careful backing up/if you don’t have all the children with you make sure someone is watching them/never put a baby car seat behind a car/ double check everything/drive very slowly/if you feel any resistance stop car and investigate

then i would have said

children can be demanding, if you get to the point when you start to lose your temper it is okay to put the child/children in a safe place and take a time out

rest/pray/breath until you can handle the kids again

it is okay to ask for help, to take care of yourself esp. to do things to help you feel healthy/be healthy

if your baby seems very fussy or cranky check to see if they are teething, if they are feverish, achy or uncomfotable

when you get frustrated with a fussy child remember how fragile children are, remind yourself how much you would miss this child if they were taken

the last item i learned from Veronica, who owned my heart long before she was taken
