Ok. This was good. Tonight, Jim had a freak accident and I am still trying to figure out how it all happened. I'm still in amazement that he and Reagan are ok. All I can say is... WOW!
So Reagan just didn't want to go to sleep at all. She was cranky and just didn't want to go to sleep. So after a few tries to get her down, I asked Jim to try because I needed to change clothes and go to the restroom. I left him with Reagan and took off down the steps to get ready for the evening.
It wasn't very long after I went to the restroom that I heard from upstairs (over the monitor) "I could use a little help here". Very calm. That's it. That's all I heard.
I thought "hmmmm, wonder what that is" and quickly took off. The time I had that request from Jim there was poop everywhere. There really was nothing calm about the request.
As I approached the stairs, I could hear Reagan crying but really didn't think much of it until I reached the doorway of her room. There it was. Jim, Reagan and the rocking chair all on the ground. Jim was in one direction, Reagan was in another and the rocking chair was in another. WHAT HAPPENED! I was trying to figure out the scene but nothing made sense quickly. I heard myself ask Jim "what happened". I'm guessing now that he was too dazed (and hurt) to answer quickly, becuase I then screamed "what the H happened here".
Jim was hurt, Reagan was fine (I'm sure dazed) and the rocking chair was close to being kindling.
Jim had been sitting in the chair with his legs up on the ottoman. He was soothing Reagan on his chest when she sat up and threw herself backwards. When he sat up, in a rocking chair that was fully extended, it made the chair topple forward and the ottoman to turn over. This movement sent him and the baby to the floor and the ottoman feet into the back of his legs. Straight into his legs.
Reagan was totally fine. Jim was hurt - but kept her safe. Yea daddy!
I am still amazed and perplexed as to how this happened. Jim now has gashes in both of his upper thighs. I am sure that will leave a mark.
