So, William has climbed out of his crib twice now when David was home, but a couple of weeks ago, I had my first real scare with William. He fell down the stairs. Now I don't think it was all the way, but it was probably half way. I keep saying I'm a terrible mother because I knew he was on the stairs, but in my defense, he had been climbing up and down stairs without any problems for months. Anyway, next thing I know, I look up and see him coming head over heals down the last 5 steps. He finally landed face down on his stomach on the hardwood floor. Of course there was much screaming on his part, which was expected. The poor baby looked like he landed on his face. He didn't have a single bruise on him, but his face looked like he had been in a boxing match :( I thought he broke his nose, so I called the pediatrician. Of course they didn't have any openings that day to see him, but the nurse said they wouldn't be able to do anything if it was broken and that EMT would have to fix it. She said to wait until the swelling went down and see if it looked broken. Thankfully, it was not broken and all the bruising was gone in just a few days, but he definitely gave his poor mother a scare!
