Justin, Sarah, & Elliott Bytheway

come one come all to my new etsy store, baby come back!

i’m starting to feel like a negligent mother. first my child escapes from his crib and could have fallen to his death while i slept in. then i lock him in the car. and next?

i took elliott for a walk right before this monster storm started up. we have 3 steps leading up to our house so naturally i unlock and open the door before i drag the stroller up the steps when we get back home. as i turn around after unlocking the door i see the stroller rolling backwards like everything is in slow motion. unfortunately i apparently was also in slow motion because even though i took a flying leap off our stoop at maximum speed i didn’t get there in time to catch my boy before he and stroller fell backwards off the curb into the street. argh. i swear i put the break on.

elliott freaked out, i think it scared him more than it hurt him, and thank goodness he was actually well buckled into the stroller (’cause he isn’t always), but you better believe i was checking his pupil dilation for signs of a concussion for the next couple of hours.

mothering FAIL.
