Yeah. Had a dose of that today.
Note to self: When putting the laundry away in Corinne's room with her and Evan in the room with you, do NOT turn your back and talk on the phone.
Cuz your 4 year old might decide to go to his room and get something without closing the door.
And in that split second that your back is to the door, your precious baby girl will follow her brother and make a beeline to the stairs.
Which she will proceed to nose dive down to the landing.
Which will cause you to scream an inhuman shriek of complete fear and panic.
And the next time she falls, she might not get up and walk and laugh after a quick cuddle.

She's fine. I'm recovering slowly as I frantically look for that expensive baby gate that I haven't actually purchased yet but will be doing so tonight.
Nothing like a brush with death to get the ole adrenaline pumping, eh?

Yikes!!! I'm so glad she's alright.
How scary! Sometimes I think things they do scare us more than them! Glad to hear she is ok...hope your heart rate slows down...I know mine would be going a mile a minute!
Oh God. I'm so glad she's ok. Has your heart beat gone back to normal yet?
OH man. i still remember that feeling of utter fear and. . . freaked-outedness. my little guy had never rolled over. and then he did. right off of the ottoman.
bad mommy. no biscuit.
No biscuit!
Yes, my heart is beating fairly normally again.
That is so scary! I'm glad she was ok.
We HAD a baby gate and my second baby still managed to tumble down an entire flight of stairs twice! The first time I just knew she was dead. The second time I figured she'd survive.
This is the same daughter who climbs lamp posts. She's bound and determined to crack her head open one of these days.
I designed this new house without any stairs!
