Like all other firsts that mum has recorded, this one needs to be there in print as well. On 10 April 2012, I had my first fall from the bed…I was sleeping with mum in the afternoon. When I woke up, mum was still asleep. She did open her eyes to see if I was ok and had pillows on all my sides, so I don’t wander off…and then she dozed. Suddenly she woke up to my loud shrieks and to her horror found me not on the bed, but on the floor! She was terrified, she hands started trembling. She called out for her mom. Patti consoled that it will be alright; all babies fall from the bed and that she had to be more careful. Mom consoled me, held me tight. I was more scared than her and was in pain. But when she held me close and fed me, I felt much better and calmed down. Mum kept wondering how I could have fallen when there were pillows on all sides, but I couldn’t explain to her. When she asked me, I only smiled. She told herself to be more careful in future and apologized to me a million times. 

I love you mom J
