I am really feeling so much better since talking about it and reading everyone's advice. I guess this morning I was convinced that I had verbally abused my little baby and who knows.... now he would end up with a nervous twitch and have to see a puppy psychiatrist b/c I am such a bad mom. All those feelings are gone and the nervous twitch hasn't developed yet so I think we are ok.
Kisses to Bentley for being so good and not trying to get outside when the kids arrived home from school this afternoon. Momma is still working on the baby gate though to make sure it doesn't happen again!
