Yeah – I thought Paul was still watching her from the bathroom door, so I turned around to do something; he didn’t see me turn around, so he popped back into the bathroom.
We heard a “bang”, then a cry, then I turned around (I was sitting on the bed), and Paul ran out of the bathroom; neither one of us realized that she could roll yet!
We kept expecting CPS to show up at the door to take her away…..
