Looking to shave five years off your life?

In a mere twenty minutes?

Leave your kid on the couch for just a minute and have her decide that she's going to practice sitting up and take a header off of said couch.

Onto the hardwood floor.

Face first.

She's fine, a split lip notwithstanding. The triage nurse at the pediatrician said to just keep an eye on her.

I, on the other hand, have not experienced this sort of emotional upheaval, self-doubt, and self-hatred since adolescence.

All's well now, but yeesh. *deep breaths*

Yow! I am very glad she's all right.

Now that you can breathe again, here's your Parent Badge for "kid's first head landing." I swear it's some kind of prerequisite for the kid getting past a certain (indeterminate) age.
