My baby fell off the bed today

The little girl I am watching was playing with him on the floor and I had my back turned putting clothes in the drawere and all of a sudden a hear a swoosh sound and a thunk then a SCREAM…

She put him on the bed and walked over to the side to get on herself and he fell back. . .She didnt put him DIRECTLY on the edge (but close enough)

Poor kid was more scared then I think Will or I was. She’s only 6 so she really doesnt know any better and I didnt expect her to put him on the bed so no one is really to blame. I told her it was okay and that she wasnt in trouble, but she needed to let me know if she wanted to climb on the bed and play instead.

It’s not that she cant carry/pick him up…that she can do .. .she just didnt realze he could fall off that easily.

Will on the other hand is ok, I gave him tylenol to ward of the inevitable headache (I know I’d have one heck of a headache anyways ) He nursed and cried a little and then Baby Looney toons distracted him and he was fine.

I probably sound like a HORRIBLE Mommy for not being totally freaked, but I have been around kids and babies my ENTIRE life and it’s a fact of life .. kids fall down and off things and they get over it and are okay .. just comfort them and of course make SURE they are ok. Freaking only makes them react more dramatically later.2
