Topsy III
This is another incident which involved the boy (I think I’ll call him Piglet).

Anyway, when Piglet was about 4 he was a real hoppy jumpy little thing, not hyperactive or anything just never still and always doing something. We were standing at the front door while Mrs P got the keys out to let us all in. Piglet was doing his usual of jumping on and off the front steps and after numerous warnings he did indeed trip and fall. He banged his head. Badly. Somehow the wee beast had contrived to fall so that his forehead connected with the corner of the stepand he ended up with a pyramid shaped dent that looked to be about a half inch deep. I don’t think it was really but the egg shaped swelling soon covered it over.

After consultation with our neighbour (a paramedic) he said to just keep an eye on him, as long as his eyes were focussing and following objects ok then don’t worry about him sleeping. We went indoors and left Piglet playing in the living room while we put the shopping away. Things went quiet and in parental panic we rushed to the living room. Piglet had crawled onto his favourite chair and gone to sleep. Nothing strange there. Except he now had his dummy (pacifier) which had been well out of his reach (deliberately) and was neatly covered by his cuddle blanket. All explainable but unlikely. But I really don’t believe that he could have tucked the blanket in around himself as it was so tight he could barely move. We used to do that to stop him rolling off the chair while he was asleep. Topsy? We like to think so.
