Mom Moments

Today at the Y daycare, I almost had a smack down with a kid.  He was probably about three/four years old.  I watched him taunt Brady and then push him down.  Brady was screaming.  Of course, I would never do that, but boy did I want too!  I know I'll have "mom moments".  I've had a few already!  Our last night in the hospital, Chris and I had went for a walk and as we walked by the nursery on the way back to our room, Brady was the only baby in there and he was crying in his little bed.  The nurse was busy and wasn't paying attention to him.  I became all emotional and had Chris go get him and told him I was never leaving him again.  :)  There were also a few times this summer when Brady had woke up in his bed crying and he was facing the wall.  It was like he was disoriented and couldn't figure out why he couldn't see anything.  He didn't realize he was on the wrong side of the bed.  It sounds stupid, but I felt so sorry for him both times and rushed in to grab him since he sounded so scared.  Another time recently, I watched Brady in the big kid room at the Y before he noticed me.  He was just standing there holding a toy and watching everyone - to me, he looked a little lost.  I just feel so protective of him in these situations.  That's why today as I watched this kid push Brady, I wanted to lay into the kid.  But I didn't.  I know that when Brady is old enough to understand, we'll use those situations as learning situations, but it's still so hard to watch....
