In an effort to get both kids into the car before Jackson could unlock the outside door and head down the street, I failed to realize that he was holding onto the door to help him get down the stairs. So, as I was closing the door trying to get ahead of him to lock the outside door, I heard a crunch. Yes, it was Jackson's thumb and I was horrified when I realized what had happened. X-rays suggest he hasn't broken it but the doctors say you can't really always tell with a child so they put his thumb in a splint for a few days. I felt so bad and haven't been able to get that awful crunch sound out of my mind since then.
