When you have kids you then always want to protect them from everything!! But you can't especially when once they start walking because they are going to explore you can't keep them locked up in a room. Even then unless it's a padded room they will always find a way to get hurt it's natural.
I would guess there are a lot of moms that's have certain fears or situations to never happen to their kids... Well one of mine came true on thanksgiving.
It's one of those memories I will probably never forget (maybe in time)
Every once in awhile the memory will pop in my head and I wanna burst into tears
We were in Idaho at my in laws new place and there were lots of kids and adults. We were all on the main floor most of the time. They do have these hard concrete or wood stairs covered in linoleum that go downstairs. There is a half door that keeps it closed off which is nice especially with little kids rubbing around.
I walked near the stairs with Jackson to get diapers for both the boys out of my bag and Isaac followed me.
It seemed like he wanted to go downstairs but I said no bud we aren't gonna go downstairs right now. I didn't bother to check if that stair door was closed because it wasn't in my eye sight an it's always been closed all day so I didn't think to worry.
I look back down at my bag trying to find the wipes that should of been in the bag. Next thing I know I hear something...someone falling down the stairs.
And I say something like oh no no no and hurry to stand up and walk over to the stairs and I watch Isaac roll down the last few steps and pretty sure I say spencer!! And he comes running over and down the stairs to get Isaac.
From the distance I thought his mouth was all bleeding but it was just chocolate from pie he ate earlier (lol)
He was shocked and then of course burst into tears. And daddy grabbed him. I handed Jackson over to Dianne and then Isaac wanted to come to me. We went over to the rocking chair and he cried and we rocked. Then we noticed his nose was bleeding a little. We checked his eyes and they weren't different sizes. Pretty sure there were a few bumps on his head. And a few scratches on his face. We gave him some medicine and he slowly seemed to calm down. His head was super hot so I took off his sweater.
He did have his shoes on which meant he didn't slip down the stairs with his socks on. And he had his pacifier in which probably protected his teeth. He at least fell half way down the stairs. But I didn't see the whole thing so it's possible he made it down most the way first.
There was someone there who is going into nursing and I almost done so she helped check him over a little bit which was nice.
Then Isaac soon was back to playing around. But I wanted to hold him forever and ever.
He was acting tired but he was before he fell so I wasn't too worries about that.
We did finally get him down around 10pm and daddy slept with him most the time. He woke up a few times for a little but and we gave him more medicine. Thankfully Jackson slept well and didn't really wake Isaac up so we were all up around 7am... Well not like spencer and I got a choice lol
1. Doesn't surprise me he was like "I will just go down myself." (He still isn't good at going down stairs by himself)
2. The sounds was like a tumbling you going down the stairs but your child! (A sound I will never forget)
3. And of course I kind of blamed myself because I'm his mother and suppose to protect him (I know things happen and I can't be everywhere to watch him)
Ahhh the worst but somehow like always he is always just fine after the hurt and shock wore off. But mommy is still trying to get over it all. I know things happen and you can't control everything but doesn't mean I can't worry and still worry after the fact.
