Easter Mother Glass Freak

Owen ran upstairs to get something from his room a little while ago. When he comes down the first few steps to the landing on the stairs, he usually grabs the railing and kind of swings around the corner to continue down the steps. Unfortunately he forgot that the railing bracket had come off the wall the other day. It does this every so often and Ernie reattaches it...we have old plaster walls....and well...it happens... However what happened THIS time when he reached for the railing and it wasn't there was that he went shooting straight ahead into the window. I was sitting in the living room and heard this god awful sound of shattering glass and then stillness. I, of course, started 'calmly' screaming, "OWEN, OWEN, OWEN" as I raced upstairs. He was perfectly still with his head through the window and broken pieces of glass all over his arms. I pulled pieces of glass off him as Ernie and Leo came running. Amazingly enough all he had were some shallow cuts on his arms.

I can still feel it in the pit of my stomach.

I got him into the bathroom and washed the cuts and bandaged him up. A few tears between us but probably more on my part than his.

I guess this will be known as the Great Easter Mother Glass Freak of 2013.

Oh Owen, my sweet baby....I am so glad you are o.k.
