Scariest moment of my life......

Last night I was giving Jen a bath while A & B played outside in the sandbox. She was having a grand ol' time splashing and standing up and down. I put a towel on the edge of a tub to absorb all the splashing and step to the next room to peek out the window to check on A & B. Jenna is quiet, she is never quiet. I was out of the room for maybe 45 seconds and she climbs out of the bathtub for the first time ever and is standing on the top of my very steep stairs. She has already made it down one step. I yell JENNA, which is not a good idea when a 11 month old is standing at the top of 15 steep stairs with tile at the bottom. I run to her and scoop her up...she is grinning and I am crying. For 24 hours I have thought 100 times of how much my life could have changed in those 45 seconds......

Oh, how scary! And just WAIT...you're in for about, oh, say, 50 more of those terrifying moments in the next two years or so. They take years off your life, I tell you.
