Head First Without a Thought!

Toby, oh, Toby! While Thomas was always a careful and cautious baby (and still is as a child), Toby is not. I fear that he will give James and I more than a few gray hairs!

Today, I had him in the high chair, where he was eating some dry cereal before I had time to sit down and feed him his baby food. I had gone down to the basement a few times and had left the door to the basement open. Well, I fed him his breakfast and then put him down. I could hear Thomas playing with his cars in the kitchen but there wasn't any Toby noise...then I remembered--the door! I took a quick look around the hallway and the stairs going upstairs and he was no where! I pulled the door back and there was Toby, going head first down the first stair! I grabbed him by his feet and pulled him up!

I sat him down on the ground and said, "no, no, no", which at this age I don't think really sinks in except he knows that he isn't going to get to do something or go somewhere that he thinks he wants to go. So, he cried because he was mad, but at least he wasn't crying because he was hurt!

Until later,

Emily
