I swear I didn't mean to, but she refuses to go on the slide!

A little over a month ago, I took her to the park behind our house. She loves the slide and if you put her at the top of it, she would inch her way forward and slide by herself. It was a little slide, I kept my arms close to her in case she did fall. Well she was sitting on the slide at the bottom playing with the sand in between her toes. And she topples over. Booboo #1. When she stopped screaming, I put her back on the slide and she was holding my hands as she slid. When I picked her up to put her back on the top of the slide, my ring scratched her face. Booboo #2. Then I had the bright idea to let her go down head first while I was holding her. As soon as she starts going down the slide, she picks her head up and hits the side of the slide. Booboo $3. Now she screams if she's on a slide unless she's in your lap. Go me for traumatizing my daughter at the park.

I'm sorry hun. I'd give it a couple of days and put her back on the slide and see how she does. Accidents happen, even to the best parents in the world. Everything will be ok, just give it a day or so, in the mean time, try putting her on a swing.

It happened over a month ago and I've tried 2-3 times and she freaks. She loves the swing, so I guess we'll stick with that.
