Your first fall...

I totally forgot to mention this last week and figured I shouldn't let it go unnoticed...haha!

You fell off the bed last Tuesday. I know, I know...I'm a bad Mom! At least that's what your Dad tells me. He couldn't believe I LET you fall off the bed! Yes, I stood right there and watched you fall off. I thought it would be funny to see your tiny little body smack into the hard wood floors face first! Silly man!

We were playing on the bed in the spare bedroom since it was really early in the morning and I didn't want to wake your Dad up. I needed to get up and start getting ready for our playdate. I stood up to put my slippers on (which were less then 2 ft away from the bed) and before I could even make it to my slippers I heard this loud thump. I looked up wondering what that was and then realized the noise came from behind me. I whipped around and there you were face down on the floor, in this weird sort of froggy position, screaming your ass off :( I picked you up really fast and tried to calm you down. You did not appear to be hurt. No goose egg was forming. No blood. Whew! I tried to put an icepack on your forehead just in case and you were having nothing to do with that! You calmed down within a couple of minutes and all was well with the world. Or...so I thought! I was on the phone with your Grandma telling her what happened and my arm started to hurt because I had been holding you in that arm for a good 20 minutes by now. I set you down and you just absolutely lost it. You screamed and screamed like someone was poking your eyes out. You woke your Dad up who was on the other side of the house. He came running in to find out was wrong and when I told him he scooped you out of my arms like I was endangering your life. It gave me a good laugh! That just made matters worse because when you're upset you want your Mommy! Daddy wasn't budging though. I was a bad Mommy and he needed to save you from me...haha! He was adamant about calming you down himself, so he wouldn't let me take you back from him. Eventually you calmed down and we went on with our day. You were a perfect little angel all day long and you would have never guessed that you fell off a bed that morning!

I told so many of my Mom friends to add me to the Worst Mom of the Year list and they all just laughed. They all said it wouldn't be the last time you fell off the bed, so to get over it now. I'm not sure that made me feel any better though. I certainly don't want to see that image ever again!
