A week or so ago a small, very lovable person threw a heavy object at my face. This little person was not angry but the object hurt nonetheless–I had a cut lip for a week.

I kept thinking about how important it is to talk about the things babies can do without any malice–break stuff, cause accidents.

They are adorable creatures but they get tired, hungry, sick, teethe, or just throw stuff.

As parents it is so important for us to remember that we can live without stuff, buy more eggs, our lips will heal and naptimes help us all–but we must protect our little ones.

So remember–

If you get tired, angry or frustrated get help or take a break
but never, never hurt the baby.
