Yesterday he was trying something new and was stacking his yogurts in the bottom portion of the cart while he was sitting there. He was very excited about his stacking and so was I. As we were walking down the beer isle to find the Paulner Oktoberfest for Uncle Matt, Bug stood up in the cart. I immediately told him to sit and stopped the cart to go over to sit him down. Before I even stepped to the side to go to him, he flipped off the back of the cart and landed head first on the back of his head on the floor. It was horrible.
A Wegman's employee witnessed the whole thing and rushed over to help me. Luckily, Bug didn't even have a bump. He was definitely not at all happy about it and I was able to calm him down by tucking him into my shoulder and holding him closely and snugly. The store took an accident report and gave us ice and asked if there was anything else we needed. Bug wouldn't let me put the ice on his head or even touch it and kept asking to go home. I asked them if I could pick up my groceries later and they stored my cart in the beer fridge.
I called Daddy on the way home to tell him what happened and started to cry. Bug said not to cry and said "I am so sorry."
When we got home, Bug walked up the stairs and happily told Daddy that he banged his head on the floor. After Daddy checked him out, he was super excited to tell Roo what happened. He told Roo and Roo told him "don't worry, I'll take you to the hospital whenever you want." These boys are a riot. I felt like puking the whole time because it was just such a terrible fall and I kept reliving it in my head.
I did have to go back to the store and pick up the groceries and finish the grocery shopping. Whew, what a stressful day!

These kids will scare the hell outta you! Mo aspirated some milk when Robb was giving her a bottle one night when I was working. She was making this gasping face but couldn't catch her breath. Robb had to turn her over on his arm and do the baby CPR back slaps to get her breathing again. Then she was crying and he was crying and holy crap. If she had to stop breathing, I'm glad it was on Robb's watch with his years as an EMT. And I'm glad that Bug's head is all right.
i faint fairly easily and once he was calmed down they had the pharmacist come over to look at his eyes and as he was telling me that he looked ok and to watch for vomiting etc all I wanted to do was puke. I could feel myself getting sweaty, ugh, Nate is so so much better at that kind of stuff than me. And I especially hate when it happens on my watch! Glad Mo's ok too, wow, that would be scary. I swear I have so many more gray hairs than I used to!
