This is a photo of Kara when she was 15-months-old, taken just hours after her first emergency room visit, which was a result of her jumping off the couch straight onto the metal base of the coffee table as we were in the process of disassembling it for that very reason.
I warned her repeatedly, ‘Stop jumping! It’s dangerous!’ to which she replied, ‘danger…danger…danger’ with each jump and laugh as she landed on the floor directly next to the glass top table housing the space in front of the sofa. I was petrified that she would eventually land on -and fall through- the table, so we decided to put it away until she learned to control her toddler urges. The glass top had just been removed and taken to the basement when I heard a loud thump and subsequent screaming cries from the kitchen.
Sure enough, she needed stitches.
The scar has healed nicely through the years, and now, at 10-years-old, you can barely tell she went two rounds with the glass top coffee table way back when.
I show you this photo of Kara because we recently ran into a similar situation with Corbin, and, he too had his first emergency room visit on Monday. Thankfully, he didn’t require stitches. The photo of his boo-boo is temporarily unavailable, i.e., I couldn’t get it to upload this morning.
On a side note, I will be taking the remainder of the week off. I leave you with the warmest thoughts and wishes for a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your families!

Aww ouch. It certainly is easier to look back on it.. than when it happened
AWWWW....poor baby.
It seems like kids always hurt themselves right after you to tell them to stop.
Omg poor thing.... awwww my kids are always doing stuff like that. I think they contemplating naming a wing after them.
Happy Thanksgiving!
My daughter Kara has some things in common with your Kara!
Poor baby! My son is also a dare devil, but he hasn't had stitches yet. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving...one in which everyone will come out unscathed on the other side!!
Oh, ouch! Our 15-month old son has just started climbing up on the couch and then he does the Nestea plunge backwards. So far, we have been there to catch him everytime, but I fear the day is coming when he does it again and we can't get to him in time! Have a great week!
