Escalators and kids dont mix!

Well Last night I left my phone at work, so this morning I had to go pick it up. Of course L wanted to go on the escalator, so we went to go up. I am not exactly sure what happened, but I think this is how it went. We got on her first G and I behind her, I think she tried to grab the railing because she didn't have her foot all the way on the step, but she didn't realize the railing was moving. SO she lost her balance and tumbled down the moving escalator, I was holding G's hand and I couldn't get to her quick enough. All I could think was she was going to get to the bottom and get stuck, but she fell about 5 steps and hit her head on one of the steps and this stopped her before I could pick her up. She of course was terrified and was screaming at this point. I felt horrible. I picked her up and we went continued up. When we got upstairs I was able to put G down so I could take a look at her and console her. She has a few scratches on her back, and she did bump her head but she was fine. I think she was more scared than anything, as was I. I felt so bad for her. I held her for a long time and tried to get her to clam down. When I finally got her calmed down, after many employees concern we went down, not the escalator the elevator. I think it will be a while before she want to ride the escalator again. That was our fun today! Wish you were me? Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come............................
