A Mommy's Super Scary Moment
Kaleb hasn't had a very good day today. He's got a couple of top teeth coming in so I know that's hurting him. Plus, he tried to pull up on Lucy and when she ran away he fell . Luckily Eric caught him (by the face) before he hit the tile floor. But, by far, his (and my) scariest moment today was after he threw up. He did a little bit too much playing after eating a biter biscuit and he threw up a little bit. I put him in his highchair while Eric was getting a wet paper towel to wipe up. All of what happened next happened in about 2 seconds. I look over and Kaleb is standing up in his highchair. He pushed on the tray, which was not all the way locked in, and it flew off of the highchair onto the floor. Because Kaleb was leaning on it, he went flying with the tray. The highchair was close enough to the table that I saw him fall face-first into the edge of the table and then go face-first for the tile floor. I went into mommy-spidey-sense mode and grabbed him by whatever I could. This happened to be the butt of his onesie. I grabbed his butt, flung him around, and held him tight. By this time he was screaming and crying and I was crying, too. It was awful. After about 5 minutes he was playing again, but he has a nice line-shaped bruise on his cheek. We were so lucky that he only hit his cheek on the table and that I was able to catch him before he cracked his head open on the floor. It was not my favorite mommy moment.
