Bad Mommy bad Mommy..it's just a bad start to Monday today.
Keziah woke up early so mommy walked her down the stairs. She happily sat on the stairs a step away from the ground and waved good morning to Tah Tah. Tah Tah had to go upstairs to change for school while little Keziah looked on quietly. Mommy thought she will just pop off for a sec to turn on the steriliser just round the corner of the stairs. Well, usually Keziah could make her way down rather easily from that little step while seated down by sliding her bottom down. Who knows the next moment, mommy heard a loud "bump" sound. For an instant, mommy couldn't connect and took a split second to run back to the stairs. Keziah was lying front down on the marble floor crying out loud. Mommy quickly picked her up and looked all over for bumps, red marks and bleeding teeth, in search of where she hit herself. She just couldn't find it. When everyone asked how she fell, mommy felt worse coz she was not even there to witness the fall. Could Keziah have stood up and missed a step coz she was not quite fully awake or slipped coz she was in her footies? Could she have just missed the step in attempting to walk down like an adult? There were just so many questions. It took awhile before she quieten down. She went back to the spot and hit the spot as usual to indicate that's where she hurt herself. When asked, she patted her head to say it hurt there. Mommy was just too complacent and taken her development for granted. She's still a BABY!!!!! Mommy needs to watch her!!!!
Okiez, mommies out there, if you have stairs at home, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD ALONE ON THE STEPS EVEN IF IT'S NEAR THE GROUND, ALWAYS HAVE AN EYE (OR RATHER TWO EYES) ON THEM ! Lesson learnt.

Oh dear! I hope Keziah is ok now! Ruixiang fell down the stairs once too, and I was just an arm's length away below him and yet could not catch hold of him in time. He had a huge bump on his forehead and cried too.
Need not feel too guilty when they get hurt though..it is from there that they learn about the world..of course, my heart also pain when he's in pain. He recently burnt his finger on a hot water pipe and cut his toe at the nanny's place too.. very gek sim.
:(
Ouch! That must be painful. I guess the Chinese saying beat on the child's body, pain in the mother's ehart is very true. Thank God she is fine and still as bubbly as usual, dashing around the house. She is somehow now a runner and refuse to slow down to juz walk. Btw, which sch have you registered Shawn for next year?
