One of my favorite things to do with Grant is pushing him to the park in the baby jogger.  Yesterday we stopped at the playground near our home.  I was standing next to Grant while he was climbing the stairs to go up to the big slide.  He had been doing laps up the stairs and down the slide with me in hot pursuit.  On his 5th or 6th time up he stopped half way up and looked around.  He took another step up and missed the stair.  I watched as he began to twist and fall backwards.  He went butt first through the safety rails.  I grabbed the front of his shirt as he fell back but he slipped out of my grasp.  I watched helplessly, in slow motion, as he fell about 8ft.  When he hit the ground he landed on his head and shoulders, bounced a little and went limp.  I jumped down and as soon as I grabbed him he started screaming.  Checking him over he seemed a sluggish which had me worried about a head injury.  I grabbed my wife and we were off to the ER.  We also checked in with our family doctor and he checked out OK.

I think for the next few years I am going to have a leash on him=)
