Unforgettable sounds

I am sure most parents remember quite clearly the various sounds their children make. Like the first time you heard your child cry after being born, all those funny little snorts newborns make when sleeping, the way their first try laugh sounded like pure heaven, the way they say "momma" or "dada" for the first time.

And then there are the not so nice sounds, like the first time your child cries out in pain from shots, when you leave them at daycare and they realize you aren't staying for the day.

Yesterday I unfortunately got to experience one of the not so nice sounds. Lucas and I were playing and he slipped out of my hands. We were in the dining room with hardwood floors. He fell but wasn't prepared for the landing and ended up face down on the floor. I don't know what was worse, the sound he made as he landed chin first or the cries of pain afterwards, or even Marc's voice as he acted like I was incapable of making good choices for our son. Lucas ended up with a bruised chin and he must have bit his cheek because there was a bit of blood in his mouth. After about 30 minutes he had calmed down and was resting on the couch watching Elmo. By the end of the night he was playing.

Accidents happen-clearly I didn't intend on having Lucas fall. I was horrified at what happened. But Marc acts like Lucas can never get a bump or a scatch.
