Info from Licensor: "In the morning, I had just gone into the kitchen to grab a can of sod and when I came back, I miscalculated the height of the gate and the bottom of my foot got caught on it. I lied there for what felt like forever thinking for sure I broke something. Eventually, my husband walked in and asked what happened and took the baby while I continued to sit on the floor assessing my wounds dramatically. I didn't end up all that injured, just a couple bruises and the foot that got caught on the gate hurt. What's funny is I had forgotten all about it until that evening I remembered and wondered to myself if the security camera caught it. I found the video and was floored at how hysterical it was. I showed my husband and he watched it three times in a row laughing. He said "you're just lying there!" I was asked if I usually try and get over the gate while holding the baby. I did this often before the fall happened, but I've always been much more careful when I'm holding him. If it's just me I'm usually rushing to get back to him (he was 10 months at the time of the video, so he can get into a lot in a short time ha!) I avoid going over while holding him now and I go much slower when it's just myself. As moms we always have so much going on that I think we tend to forget our own safety."
