Today we stopped by my parents house for a few to say hi and let the kids visit (they live across the street and we’ve all been together the entire pandemic). Everyone gets on me cause I’m constantly running around chasing our 1 year old making sure he isn’t getting into everything or into something that could hurt him. Constant “he’s fine!” “Let him run!”. I let him out of my sight for literally 2 seconds and he got to their wood burning stove and touched it and burned his hands. Me and my husband have both been crying on and off for hours feeling like the worst parents in the world. My poor sweet little baby got hurt because I let everyone else get in my head and let him roam. I will never take my eyes off of him again.

We went to the ER per doctor recommendation and he has 2nd degree burn on his right hand and first degree on the left 💔💔💔💔

I just cannot believe this happened. I wish I could take all of his pain for him. My dad immediately went to the garage and built a barricade to go around it so this can never happen again. I’m devastated.

Edit to update: this is day 3
