Yesterday (Sunday night) Sarah took a big tumble, down the stairs well 5 stairs.
I'd been worried about this happening the day she first managed to climb one stair...(a while ago now) so i put a "gate"up most of the time so she doesn't climb up and down the stairs (which she LOVES to do of course)
I'm sat there and see her climbing and go to stop her as she starts to fall...in what seems like slow mo, however slow it was i didn't manage to catch her and she end face first on the floor..a cold tiled floor.
Oh dear, i scoped her up as quick as possible. She's screaming, of course, but it would seem that all her limbs are still in working order. So i try to ice the lump, however if you have ever tried to do this with a kid it's not so easy due to them just refusing to let you.
So i think I'll calm her down and then ice the bump, so out comes the chocolate (*thanks mum for the Easter egg).

first she was still sobbing as she stuffed chocolate in her mouth, then a min later she was laughing..so she wasn't that hurt i guess. I tried again with the ice but she wasn't having any of it, she wanted to eat it so i let her (it hurts my teeth just watching her eat ice).
She slept alright and this morning in the car she touched her face and said bang bang, and did the hand actions to boot. So she remembered that she fell and i guess it's sore.
My poor baby, however she doesn't really have that much of a bruise. Its smaller than i thought it would be. maybe it will come out over time but as it you can see...you can barely see the bump.

Kids are amazing really.
