It happens to everyone - 4 y/o DD fell down a half a flight of stairs when we were visiting my BF's house. She and BF's DD were playing dress up and came down to show us their latest outfits, she just slipped on hardwood stairs as I watched from 15 feet away. She sobbed for a little while, bled a little (happily sucked on a cold, wet washcloth) and was fine by the next morning. We are not bad mothers. [ Reply | More
