100, that is.
This is my hundredth post. Can you believe that? I've managed to warble on for THAT long? Wow.
I had planned on doing some sort of fun, retrospective-y post for the big 100, but the last few days have sucked.
I'm really trying to stay positive for 2011, but the outlook isn't lookin' sunshiney.
To top it off, O fell down the stairs today. I left him playing with his toy garage for less than 5 minutes to pee, and the next thing I know, I hear a tumble and WAIL. (he's fine, btw.)...
I go flying to see him crumpled on the landing and I immediately start to cry. My heart jumped to my throat. OH.MY.G-D.OH.MY.G-D.OHMYGAWDDDD!
Mostly the fall just scared/pissed him off, but it scared the SHIT out of me. Annd? I feel like the worst Mommy EVER.
Obviously, the barriers we've put up to block the stairs just aren't cutting it anymore.
My ILs were trying to avoid drilling into the walls all this time, which I understand, but the time has come- no more avoiding the inevitable...The upstairs bonus landing and his room are the only real safe places to play in the house...
Now, I feel like the landing isn't safe, but he hates just being in his room all day...grrrreaaaatttt...
but since my ILs are in FL for the next week, we'll have to wait 'til they get back for them to give the okay to install the gate, so in the meantime, O will be attached to my hip.
This week? Gonna be awesome.
And by awesome, I mean NOTSOMUCH.
