Well, it happened. Evy's first fall. And, it was all my fault. I was frantically running around the house this morning trying to get us both out the door. Scott's work has him out of town which means I have to be doubly on the ball in the morning. My lunch, jar food for Evy, updated registration form for daycare, laptop, files, and purse. Check, check and check. Evy was happily crawling around near our front door so I stupidly jumped at the chance to go back through the house and turn off lights and close windows (rain). As I was turning off the bedroom light I thought "Oh no! I don't hear her crawling around. Oh my God, I bet she's climbing the stairs." Sure enough, just as I reached the staircase she summersaulted down 3 stairs and landed on the tile. Evy is just fine. But tomorrow morning she's getting put in the pack and play as I rush around the house prior to departure.

Not unfit, only human like the rest of us. Many moms, myself included, have experienced a child rolling down the stairs...despite our best efforts to be watchful.
This is just part of your initiation process...so, congratulations, you've earned another mama badge!
I just say, welcome to the club...Kate has gone down every set of the stairs in our house, some more than once. Only one time made me feel really horrible and well, we are now baby gate central, but baby gates only work when you close 'em. Again, welcome glad to have a new member.
Side Note my random word verification work is hotties:)
