My poor sweet baby (ok, really she's a preschooler I guess) got her first major boo boo today! Yes, she is a little sheltered and JUST got hurt at age 3yr2mn. I had gotten home from work and of course she was in unmatching jammies so I went to the basement to get the right jammie shirt from the dryer (side note for my mom of the year award: I washed the clothes 3 days ago and haven't taken them out of the dryer...oh yes, MOM award here I come!). I had gotten her new shirt and also her gym leotard for tomorrow's gymnastics class and I heard a HUGE thud at the stairs. I'm sure you can imagine what happened, but I'll spell it out...Teagan followed me downstairs and I guess she tripped at the 1st step from the landing and fell down at least 4 or 5 stairs. She SCREAMED bloody murder for about 20 minutes. The only thing I thank God is that she didn't make it all the way down because she would have landed head first on the concrete floor.
I think she's ok. She bruised up right away on her legs, knees, arms, and forehead. After cuddling with me for a little bit, she mentioned her nose hurt too. It is swollen, slightly bruised, and has a cut on it too. I'm waiting til tomorrow to post pictures if the bruises/swollen limbs are still there, but by the time she went to bed she was back to her fiesty self!
**I should mention that we have lived at the same house with stairs her whole life and my mom's house has steps as well and we have NEVER had any issues with her falling up or down them. I really have no idea how it happened, but I'm praying she doesn't have black eyes for gymnastics tomorrow or when my mother in law comes over tomorrow night...
MOM of the YEAR - people are going to think you beat her :) ok, there is no way they would think that about you. Poor Baby!
