I find it interesting that the male 2 year old seems to be feeling those protective instincts of adult males. First, when one of my daughters needed correcting, my two-year-old Benjer, sensed danger and put himself between me and the sister. Then, when a different daughter banged her head on the wooden kitchen floor, he went to help her, saying, “No, no, no, no, no…” He was definitely trying to “fix” his sisters when they were hurt.

Kids can get hurt so easy. I remember when my brother, fell out of a large walnut tree! As the ambulance people carried him toward the ambulance he waved bye bye, what a relief! As far as he fell he could have really done some damage. I believe God protected him at that moment.
Thank you God for your protecting hand!

Oh my! Poor Deb. Around 15 years ago I found myself in nearly the same situation. My son fell out of the neighbors tree (only 4 feet), but he landed on some roots. He was brought home immediately by his friends father. To my amazement he didn’t cry much. I felt his head, and there was the big good egg. BUT after a few minutes he started vomiting. After the second time of this, we took him to the emergency room. They did xrays, and said they couldn’t find anything. Right as we were getting ready to leave the hospital he vomited again. They then took a second look at the xray and saw that he had fractured his skull. At that point I froze. He was taken by ambulance to STL Childrens Hospital, and watched over night. After having a headache for a couple of days he was fine. What a frightening moment, one of many (may I add). It’s all part of parenting. Thanks for sharing. ph
