Anything you can do,

I can do better.
I can do anything,
Better than you.

Riding high on new knowledge, it’s funny how something or someone so small can make you feel as though your newly found skills are, well, rather insignificant.

This is borrowed from a friend, a mother, and a fellow nursing student:

“I have the knowledge to do patient care including emptying bulb drains, dc'ing foleys, emptying them, changing wound dressings, emptying ostomy bags and changing them but none of that matters to my son. I tried to take off his band-aid and he told me "You don't know how, only daddy does!" Kids can really knock their moms off pedestals real fast.”

(Thanks for allowing me to share that Liza!)

My bug was in the ER last night were they had to start an IV on him.All went well; however, he may have developed a lifelong fear of nurses now.This morning as I asked him if I can take the bandage off he told me “No, want grandma to do it!” Toddlers…sigh.

Reality Check of the Day:

Just remember when you think you are good; remember,

there is someone out there who is even better!

(Even if it is simply Daddy or Grandma!)
