My tiny triumph... :)

[ren2005]

Ever since I became a mom, I am a nutcase with washing my sons hand. Huge panic and anxiety set in if he is touching something when we are out and about. Playgrounds..etc. I always carry bottled water and soap almost everywhere we go.
Sad, I know.

Anyway, on Tuesday, I took him to the playground. I had never heard of this before, but another mom was telling me that there was some kind of program going on where these people come and feed kids lunch. It really is very nice. My son eats at home, no problem..but he was saying he was thirsty. The lady is like...he can have a chocolate milk , but he has to have a lunch too.
Basically, you cant have one without the other.

So, as hard as it was for me...as hard as it was.... He sat down with all the other little kids at the picnic table and loved every second of having his chocolate milk and they had a sandwich, brocolli and pears. He didn't like anything they were really serving anyway. LOL

Anyway, I didn't get to wash his hands before this..which was high anxiety for me, my purse was all the way in the car with the soap and water. But I didn't want to make a fool of myself and go running for it, so the lady had sanitizer for his hands..which we all know does nothing really. I let him use that and let him pick at his food (he mostly drank the milk..but touched the straw all over) Every second bothered me and I cringed thinking about his germy hands... but I did it!!!

He only just turned 3 and is not in day care yet or pre school... so he LOVED being with the other kiddos and drinking his chocolate milk..etc. It made me happy for him!!!

Last thing I want to do is screw my son up with MY problems. So yeah...I got threw it and he is fine! (Although it was only 2 days ago...praying he doesn't catch anything)
