What is "this" you ask? Well, Brennan fell off of our bed yesterday. I was getting ready for dinner last night and Brennan was on our bed. I was right there watching him the entire time. BUT - there is always a "but" - I turned around for one second, less than a second -a fraction of a second, to hang up a dress when I hear and feel a loud thud. My first thought is Jesse got home and as always has no clue how to shut a door like a normal person - love ya Brother! But I whip around anyway and there is no more Brennan on the bed - he is no where and there is no noise. This is where my heart stopped beating! He had rolled off the opposite side of the bed and landed on his belly. He didn't begin screaming bloody murder until he saw me. Then he was unconsolable for 5-10 minutes. I checked him everywhere and everything seemed to be fine. I don't think he bonked his head hard enough for a concussion because he was focusing okay. However, we did keep an extra close eye on him the rest of the night. Needless to say, I will now die 10 years earlier than scheduled, those years have been shaved off my life. Brennan seems to have recovered fully and is once again without fear. I, however, still hold him a little to tight and will probably continue as such for quite awhile.

I'm Too Young for a Heart Attack!
So my sweet and adorable son tried to give me heart palipitions yesterday and he didn't feel too good either! Keep in mind that I am ALWAYS very careful. The one time I let my guard down this happens.

Well you certainly aren't the first person that has happened to! Kids are strangely resilient. I'm glad to hear he's fine!
