Link was first. He climbed up on the hearth and when he tried to crawl back down, he slid face-first on to the tile. There was a little blood, but no major damage, just a fat lip. A few kisses and cuddles later, he was back to his cheerful self.
Then it was Dax's turn.... I was in the garage getting the stroller ready for our walk, when 2 kind ladies walked up and told me that they'd found my "little one" walking down the road! I was completely confused because 1)my "little one" was in his crib, and 2)my other one was playing in the living room. Then Dax stepped out from behind them. What a shock! Apparently when I left the garage and came in the house to get drinks, he must have gone in the garage. When he didn't see me, he thought I'd started the walk without him and he went to look for me. He made it around the corner and about half a block down (on a fairly busy road) when the ladies saw him and asked him where his house is. He freaked and ran home. They followed to make sure he was ok. I was back in the garage when they showed up and said they found him. I luckily never got mad, but later it was scary to realize that I never really knew he was missing. He and I had a good conversation about it ended up having a good walk, too. I am So Thankful for his angels!
So, while I may not win the SuperMom title today, I know that these things happen, even to the best moms. And, both boys (and mom) are really no worse for the wear. Thankfully.
