Big ouch - so sad

Monday afternoon a call came into mom's office from Alyson....Regan had fallen down a couple of stairs. Here's the full story as relayed by Alyson : Another boy (11 months old too) was playing with a "play" rolling pin from the kitchen set. Regan decided she wanted it so there was a bit of a chase back and forth between the two. He then set off towards the stairs where Alyson was sitting. She thought the two had finally lost interest in their little "game", but Regan came out with a surprise. Regan bolted towards the other little boy and up two stairs in an effort to get the rolling pin (for whatever reason, the gate wasn't on the stairs). She grabbed the pin from him and quickly turned around for her big "getaway", only to see she was on the second step and therefore, fell to the floor, smack onto her face. She made two pouty sounds, realized she had the pin in her hands and never even shed a tear. I guess she saw victory and it was well worth the fall down the stairs! Unfortunately, she's now left with a big rug burn on the tip of her nose and it looks like a big old birth mark. Once mom arrived at daycare later that afternoon, the rolling pin had been put in the "not to play with" bin for the rest of the day! Alyson got it out to see what Regan's reaction would be....now here's the funny part; she took it from Alyson and almost automatically waved it in the other little boy's face all the while laughing!! It was as if she was saying "ha, ha, I still got the pin!" We all laughed at her little attitude shining through!

As you can see from the picture, she's her happy self and no harm done, not even to her ego! But the gate on the stairs is up permanently now at daycare (I hope!).
