I guess it was bound to happen...

Presley fell off the couch today. I was feeding them in their boppies and using the bottle holders, and I realized I didn't have any burp cloths. I went to the laundry room to get one out of the dryer, not thinking it would be a big deal since both were chilled and content with eating and not wiggling around. Half way back I hear Presley start crying. I first thought, "oh the bottle must have fallen out and she can't reach it". That is until I came into the living room and see the bottle in the holder on the couch...and an empty boppy! My stomach dropped. I run up to her and she is laying on her back on the ground/rug. I pick her up and pray that she hasn't hit her head on the table, which was my fear. I looked her up and down and she has no red marks or any signs that she hit her head. She is crying, but not "oh my goodness I'm dying" crying. I walked around the room with her and she cried for about two minutes, then was done. She didn't even have tears! Okay her eyes were watery, but nothing fell! I guess it scared her more than anything. She went back to eating her bottle and has been her happy go lucky self since then. Needless to say it scared the poop out of me! And yes, I know...note to self...ALWAYS have your burp cloth handy. I get the bad mom of the day award! :(

  1. eva, such precious children. Don't be so hard on yourself. We had a horrible incident with our two year old Sunday afternoon. She choked on a mint that I had given her. Very scary but the 911 operator talked us through it.
