My Owwie!

Sam is learning new skills so fast. He learned how to get off our bed just last week. He turns around and crawls down. He realized yesterday that this same skill works on stairs. I allowed him to practice going down the stairs on his own a couple of times just to make sure he was safe in case I did not notice him going down some day. He loves to show-off/master new skills, so he tried going down the stairs every time I put him down yesterday. If we were downstairs already, he climbed up the stairs just to go back down. I tried to stop him every time. I was walking over to stop one of his attempts when he sat up on the edge and fell backwards down the stairs. I threw myself across the floor to catch him. I grabbed his leg and pulled him up. Then I noticed a burning sensation on my knees. I got rug burn! OW! The things we do for our kids.
