The little bump

Off he goes… my little baby has found strength in his legs and can’t seem to stop exploring every room in the house. Gone are the days when he could sit still as I watched my favourite soap opera.. now my heart beats every time he walks away hoping his feet make a good landing and not his head. On that fateful day, I got carried away, and suddenly i heard a loud thud and a cry! The day I dreaded had come and I felt so guilty. How could I have left him alone? Was he hurt? Should I call 911? My heart sank as I picked him up and consoled him. I checked to make sure everything was fine and got so fidgety doing it. After a few seconds, he smiled and trotted away again. I heaved a sigh of relief and thanked God he was okay. There will be times, as a nursing parent, that you don’t have everything figured out. Don’t panic.. do the best you can and get help when you can. It’ll turn out good in the end. Ciao!
