First, But Not Last

Peyton took his first trip down our basement steps. I'm sure it will probably not be the last time I hear that thump, bump, thump sound. I knew right away what it was, but was sincerely hoping it was a toy and not a little boy. Surprisingly enough he only cried for a short time and after holding him for a little while he padded off to play. I was very thankful I did not have to scramble to find a way to the ER (since I have no car during the day), especially after I found out he had fallen all the way from the top step. Thank you, Lord, for protecting him!

This evening as he was recounting his experience to daddy at dinner time, this is how he phrased it.

"I rolled down the steps...(pause)...like a ball."

Leave it to Peyton to find a very literal way of describing exactly what happened.

So thankful he was fine. If there is a way to get hurt, boys will find it! :) I can't believe we've had no broken bones at our house yet!
