I think Ray and I almost have small strokes when she says it we laugh so hard. Sunday morning Ellie woke up and asked me if she was safe...the question startled me (she's 4). I told her she was and asked her if something was going on. She told me that "she didn't know her body very well". I'm not sure if that was just a 4 year olds brain working overtime, or if that was a little girl with diabetes making sure she was ok...but the latter breaks my heart and I haven't gone 10 minutes with out hearing her statement in my head since Sunday. Giving them the feeling of safety is as important as the actual deal...you did both that day Momma, you had his back and that always matters!

But think about this- he KNEW his family had his back, he KNEW his mom would be there within seconds. Next to completely taking away any fear, knowing that someone is right there to take care of you is the best feeling a kid could have.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586345335424142815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-7682983868915262662010-09-27T12:29:33.754-07:002010-09-27T12:29:33.754-07:00And yet another MARVELOUS MERI MOMENT!

Along with crap sandwich, craptastic, sucktastic, suckalicious, crappa-lappa-ding-dong (although I don't think I've ever used that last one on my blog!). <br /><br />What a scary situation, but I'm glad everything turned out okay. Something similar happened to me when Elise was about 16 months and we went on a walk. She started acting weird and thankfully I had the meter. She was 42, but I had no carbs. I had to pick her up and run her about 1/4 mile home.
