So I literally have one of the first Johnny Jumpers ever invented. This one has been passed down from my Grandma. I loved to use this thing for Hailey, and she enjoyed it just as much. I recently pulled it out of the closet for Hayden. So the second time I put him in it was a complete catastrophe. We were getting ready for Ryan to take me out for a nice dinner the day before Mother's Day. Hayden was fusing while I was trying to get ready, so I thought it would be a good idea to stick him in it. NOT! I hooked it to the door frame, and left to go hook him in the straps. When I came back to hook him on Hailey was standing in the doorway swinging it. I should have checked to make sure it was still secure, but of course I didn't. I went to hook him on, and the ten pound spring fell on his head right on his soft spot. I just started screaming, "OH NO, OH NO!!!" In return Hailey started screaming and crying. As I was trying to take him out the spot on his head that got hit started to swell and it looked like it was filling with blood. Ryan was in the shower, and was hurrying to get out to see what happened. I was yelling at him to call 911. Instead I ditched Ryan and Hailey (which Ryan wasn't too happy about) and decided to run him to Jordan Valley Emergency Room. He didn't make one sound all the way to the hospital. When I got there I didn't know what I would find when I opened the car door. I swung the door opened, and all I got was a great big smile. I pulled him out and looked at his head. It still looked really bad, but the swelling had stopped. I ran him in, and started filling out the paperwork to check him in. Luckily my Mom showed up. She looked at it and laughed at me. She said he was fine. We took him to her house and had her watch him to make sure he didn't have a concussion. The next day there wasn't hardly even a bruise. What a miracle! Some people would say that I overreacted, but I don't care. I really thought I hurt him, and was so worried. I guess kids are a lot tougher than we think. It makes me realize how much I love my kids!

Oh...The Drama!!!
