911 Please state your emergency...

Yesterday turned out to be quite an eventful day. Logan had the morning off so we spent that time relaxing, running errands, and just playing around. Once Logan left, Lyla and I continued the playing; we played dress up (more to my amusement than hers)


Lyla left the hat on for about 30 seconds

 and enjoyed some of her favorite toys. Finally it was dinner time so I prepared Lyla's food and put her in her high chair to eat while I did some dishes. I turned to check on her frequently but one time I turned around and saw her leaning over the side of her high chair immediately I paniced and ran to her but didn't make it in time. I literally saw her fall head first onto our kitchen floor. Here is where the hysteria set in. While I knew I should stay calm, I felt completely unsure of what to do. I managed to get my mom on the phone and Lyla and I went straight to Children's Hospital. By this point Lyla had stopped crying and was in a pretty good mood. While waiting for the Dr. she played as if nothing had happened. We praise God that nothing was wrong, not even a minor concussion. I am so thankful for a country where I can rush my child to the hospital in emergencies and for a God that truly is our protector. This was a situation where I had no control and had to trust God to take care of her, I am thankful the my God never fails. For those of you who are still perhaps a little shocked and concerned, here is Lyla today...

  1. Now that is scary! Glad to hear that Lyla is OK though. eently watching a DVD given to new parents about drowning, and it has made me even more watchful! Especially as Sarah loves to check out the bathroom - if she can find the door opened!
    love,
