Falling...

So, Ryan took a short nap (AGAIN) and so I decided to take advantage, head to the outlets to get Ryan new shoes. We get the shoes, I found his Christmas Eve jammies at Carters and we went to one more store when Ryan told me he needed to pee. So, we rush to the bathroom--on the other side of the mall and then he doesn't even go.

What he does do is fall off the toilet! I told him to wait and I would help him get off--(I was putting my purse in the stroller). He didn't wait and fell. He was sitting backwards, so he sort of fell off sideways, bumped his face on the side of the bowl, bit his lip on the way down and his head crashed onto my feet as I reached to catch him. Thank goodness it didn't hit the ground! There was blood all over his face from his lip; he bit his lip pretty hard on the way down.
And of course, he is screaming and crying. And while I was very concerned, I was just sure that people outside the bathroom were thinking that I was in there beating my child! We cleaned him up, he calmed down and I just decided to head back to Salem.

He has a pretty fat lip right now, but is fine. But, is there a nastier place to have an accident than a public restroom?? At least we were in the family restroom, not just a stall, but still gross! And is it just my kid who gets injured falling off a toilet?? Seriously!
