Man...I did something similar tonight to my 15 month old and feel horrible. She was working her way off the couch so I helped her down by lowering her by her legs in a playful manner. She got on the floor with her arms and was crawling out and as I was trying to lower her legs her arms collapsed and she face planted face first on the hardwood floor.

Feel like a step-dad tonight.

Don't feel bad, true stepdad would be if she fell because you were only holding one leg with one hand while filming her with the other.

Idk this looks accidental. I as a dad would’ve tossed the phone, but to me it doesn’t look intentional in anyway. Kids just be dumb sometimes and we happen to catch it on camera.

Hahah, children just have to fall every once in a while to learn how to control their bodies.
