Falling Head over Heels...Literally
Yesterday was Michaels first big fall. I thought for sure I could make it through the first year of motherhood without any falls. I don't know who I was trying to fool but it most certainly didn't work. I was right there too but my super fast cat-like reflexes failed me as I watched in slow motion, my beautiful baby fall off of the twin bed in his nursery. Luckily, it was only about a foot and a half and I caught the legs as they tumbled over his head. Now I think we will only play with toys in our crib and not where adults are, because we adults are not vigilant enough to stop a 7 month old from lunging after a toy. We are too busy folding clothes and talking. Anyways, I am sure I am more traumatized than he is. He has cried longer when I have just put him down for a nap. No bump, no bruises...On him, but there is most certainly a bruise on my heart and my memory. Just kidding...Not really. Maybe I will recover soon...signing off from the dungeon. Have a fabulous day!

My poor baby!!! I know exactly how it feels, you girls always made me feel like a nervous, slow moving wreck. The good thing is he won't remember and thank goodness Mikey is OK.
Sorry, but that was funny. Your retelling of it was, anyway. I'm sure the actual event was traumatic. I know from experience...you are DEFINITELY more scarred than he is! I promise! You are a fabulous mother!
I agree with Katie. That was funny, though I know how great of a mother it makes you feel when your baby falls.
