+ Fall down, go boom +
We had another Mommy Panic moment this morning. I fed you and placed you in your carseat, which was sitting on the big ottoman, while I gathered my stuff together to go to work. I was getting my lunch and I heard your incessant babbling turn to screaming. I ran in and found you face down on the carpet in front of the ottoman. I am such a horrible mommy! I didn't imagine you'd do your stiffening thing and fall right out. You cried while I held you, but really got over it pretty quickly. After a thorough examination of your legs and arms and head, I think you were just fine. Scared more than anything. When we went to actually leave, you tried to do it to me again, and I had trouble actually fastening your carseat because you wouldn't sit still.

Mommy Lesson #569: Do not place baby in a carseat without latching it, even if baby seems sleepy and content. Seems like an obvious one, but clearly I need some help grasping the obvious.
