Ethan's boo boo

What a horrific experience for a parent when their child gets hurt. Even though this was just a medium size burn it was all my fault and I felt so bad. My curling iron had been broken for like 6 months prior to this. When Danielle died her parents gave me a bunch of her stuff including her curling iron. I'm not used to having one on in the house so I plugged it in and turned it on to the highest setting and left the bathroom to feed Ethan breakfast. After breakfast I let Ethan down not thinking about the curling iron . All of a sudden I heard the most horrible scream. I ran to him and found the curling iron on the bathroom floor. I could smell how hot it was. He screamed for 2 hours until he got tired. We tried burn cream but putting that on a 1.5yr old isn't easy. I'm not sure if he grabbed the iron and dropped it on his arm but either way it wasn't fun and I'm sure it hurt him so bad. Sorry buddy, mommy feels so bad :(

Its clearing up nicely though. His hand is all better and his arm is still a bit red, but I have been putting Neosporin on it to take away any scaring
