Today I had a real scare, Ashlyn fell down the steps. (yes again) She has been going up and down for the past week just fine on her own. For the first few days I watched her every move, she scared me. I soon noticed that she got the hang of it. Well today she fell, I heard the loudest thud, so I knew she was going to be hurt. I picked her up, and she was crying but no sound was coming out, then she fell limp into my arms. I ran her up the steps, and by this point she was conscious but she still wasn't crying, and she wouldn't lift up her head. I just started saying, help me God, please Jesus let her be o.k. and I called Benji who reassured me she was going to be o.k. and to not let her sleep. She's fine now it took me holding her for a 1/2 and hour and following her around for another 10 minutes to really believe she was o.k. I just thank God that He was there with me, helping me and letting her be o.k. I had to just stop and thank God for all of my kids, it's in these moments when I really see how precious they are to me, and how they are in His care.

oh my!!
what a scare...
i know.. God is so good, He is always there and watching when we cannot be... we have to trust Him, we only have 2 arms... and you have 5 kids... He knows you need His extra set of hands... You are an amazing , amazing momma! I love you!!!
did you feel like me, just for a second? those lifeless, no sound cries can really terrify you!!!
poor baby, you just need to get some trees for that monkey to climb in your living room! maybe then she'd stay off the stairs!!
I got a feeling of panic when I first started reading this. I'm so glad that Ashlyn's doing okay!!!
I am so glad that she is okay!! She will have it mastered soon. I think that I have gotten too comfortable with watching Bella on the stairs. They are so fast at this age.
