It had to happen sometime, right?



















I found this cute little walker at Ft. Riley's semi-annual garage sale for $10. It was basically brand new, and quite cute. I finally dragged it out last week to see if Paisley was big enough to use it, and hurrah, she was. She even seemed to like it, to the point where when I first sat her in it, her eyes got really big and her head swiveled back and forth for about 30 minutes. Yesterday I had her in it while I sat at the kitchen table trying to figure out our taxes, and I left the room for just a second, I swear, and as soon as I left I heard a loud thump, then a scream. Running as fast as I could I got back to the walker, and was really surprised to see that the baby was no longer sitting in it. Honestly in that split second, my brain was trying to comprehend how in the hell she could have gotten out. She's not even 5 months, she couldn't have climbed out. Then I realized that someone (I take full responsibility for this) didn't have the seat properly attached and it fell through, taking the babe with it, landing her on the floor underneath the walker. She screamed for a minute, but she seemed more scared than hurt, and calmed down after a minute. I hear people talk about their kids falling off beds, etc. and I always say to myself, "I would NEVER let that happen to MY kid..." but in actuality I knew something would happen sometime.






























This is how she looked after the incident, although
this crying fit was from a different time. It used
to freak us out when she cried, but now she
does it enough that we're used to it. The middle
picture it hard to see, but her eyes are wet with tears.
I wanted pictures of it though, because she's pretty
cute when she's pouty.
