Superbaby tried to fly.

I know the picture looks bad, but he's really just fine.

We have sadly discovered that Clark the Superbaby can't really fly. His car seat was on the stroller. I hit a bump. The carseat flipped off the stroller, and he landed face first onto a HOT black asphalt sidewalk. The red part is a mild burn. He's so fair-skinned that it looks so red! Luckily he was strapped into his seat, so he only got a couple of tiny scrapes on his forehead and not even a bruise, so far. Boy was he mad, and boy was momma freaking out!

It happened as we were walking into the YMCA, so fortunately I took him straight to the head lifeguard to get him checked out. She is such a professional. She checked him all out, got him an icepack and held him while I tried to calm down. I was afraid I'd drop him or that he was mad at me. (Sounds silly now.)

So here you can see the imprint of the HOT bumpy asphalt sidewalk burned onto his poor little forehead. Poor baby! Worst mom ever!

You are absolutely NOT the worst mom ever- accidents happen, I am sure he has forgotten it already!

Makes me sad to think of it. Zachary did a head plant on mom's driveway and he was pretty mad about it.
