So, last night we got home from Grandma Dale's house and were making dinner. Kate was enjoying the "Little Einsteins" on TV, while mommy and daddy were cooking. The timer rang~ it was time to get the biscuits out of the oven. Mommy grabbed the potholders, opened the oven and removed the cookie sheet with both hands, careful not to drop the hot biscuits on herself or the floor. Mommy safely transports the cookie sheet full of biscuits to the counter (very proud of herself for not dropping any), and turns around to close the oven door. Then, almost in slow motion, Mommy watches as little Kate put her hand onto the open oven door. Although Mommy is only a foot away from the oven and Kate, she is unable to prevent this tragedy. There is no immediate reaction from Kate~ she just lets her hand sit there for a few seconds until she finally realized it was hot, screams and burst into tears. All things considered, Kate is fine. She has red, swollen patches on her left palm, and 1 little blister. Mommy, on the other hand, is not doing so well. Kate cried for about 30 minutes. Mommy is still crying. All Mommy hears repeating in her head over and over again is: "Hot oven burn baby! Hot oven burn baby!" Anyone know the name of the mental hospital they put Rain Man in? I may need to go there for a little rest...

Hi,
Always remember that ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. A little blister on the hand is much better than to think of what could have happened. You need to put a couple of bells on KATE so you know where she is at all times. Everything can't be baby proofed (even though we would like it to.)I don't think you are ready for the mental hospital yet....THEIR ARE MANY MORE YEARS TO COME.
We Love You All.

Grandma Linda here again....
I was just thinking Tina....You need to find out where the "MOMMY STORE" is there in Dallas, so you can get the extra set of eyes that belong in the back of your head. It's been so long since I was a young MOMMY that i forgot where I got them from. Let me know if you find them.
We Love You
Mom & Ken
I agree with Grandma Linda these things are going to happen, we don't like it when they do but we do the best we can. Just know that you are not the only one this has ever happened to and know that you are loved and a very good mommy.
We love you Tina, Chris and Kate.
