She fell....Oh No!!!!!!

So my two year old and I went to the playground for like the hundreth time. She is experienced enough to climb up the steps and wait for me to say "1,2,3 Go!" So what made today different. I'm not sure but it all happened in slow motion. All I saw was my daughter coming down three steps and then she took flight and covered some distance also (thinking long jump and track scholarships) before she landed. Unfortunatly she landed face first and it wasn't good. I ran over and saw scrapes and no cuts but lost skin. I wanted to do surgery right there but if I was hectic she would be. She was crying and blood was there so I rushed her in the house and kept my cool. I hit the door like a brick and said "Washcloth, peroxide and ointment stat." Okay I didn't say stat but everything else was right. Instead I got Huh, what happened? Listen I need action so I got everything and cleaned her up. It was traumatic to my baby and she had to take a nap. I thought I handled it pretty well but I hated her in pain. She woke up and was fine after that and I was ok until the next morning. When I saw how my daughters face looked I wasn't prepared. It is what happens to kids but let me tell you I was going to set the playground on fire. It hurt seeing her face looking like that. My little princess. She hasn't seen that playground since it happened. I keep saying its chilly outside.
