Bad Mothering

Tonight I proved how ineffective I can be as a mother. I had put Libby down for the night. She was kind of babbling to herself like she normally does so I left her to fall asleep. Then she started crying (not unusual) and crying and crying. I went up after about 10 minutes with Tylenol at the ready since she's teething and constipated and it seems to be the only thing that works sometimes. When I got there I found her sitting up with her leg stuck in the crib spindles. Yep, her little baby legs are so chubby that she got one stuck. I'm guessing that she'd been stuck like that for the whole 10 minutes while I sat there praying she'd settle down and go to sleep. I feel like a bad mother. I should have gone to check on her sooner. But, she's fine now... except for the severe emotional scar. Nothing a little therapy can't help.
