A mommy's nightmare. I witnessed Xuan tumble down the spiral slide at the playground 2 nights ago. Can't helped but kept feeling guilty about it. I was almost certain she's steady enough to climb up those steps and glide down the slide on her own. After all, she's done it many times already.
Anyway, the moment I hold her at the bottom of the spiral slide, I almost wanted to cry myself. Her face was a concoction of tears, saliva, blood, etc. What was I thinking??? She's merely a 17 month old toddler! I felt my heart tumbled right into my stomach at that instance...
Well, she's sustained minor cuts on her lips and bruises on her left leg. Nothing serious and I'm so thankful to God for watching over her. When we went to the playground again the following evening, our dear friend was still as thrilled to see that fateful slide. Guess "severe short term memory lost" is one of those life's lessons we should learn from our kiddos. :)
