So My Question Is:

Ben had his first little accident today. Now that he really rolls everywhere, he is hard to keep an eye on. We keep him blocked in with toys during his feeds so he can't pull his IV pole down... but during his feeding breaks, we let him roam free. He usually doesn't explore too much, but today he was rather adventurous. He rolled from our family room into our kitchen, traveled across the kitchen by rolling on the tile (a first for Ben), maneuvered his way around the island and rolled right up to the doors to our deck. Quite a trip!

Well later in the day, I decided to take Ben for a walk. I was getting his stroller out of the car and left the front door open so I could peek in and see him (because of the trach, Ben needs a set of eyes on him 24-7). I was only going to be outside for a minute. During the few seconds my back was turned to pull the stroller out of the trunk, Ben actually ROLLED out of our front door (over the raised door jam) and dropped onto the welcome mat (it is a step down from our door to the mat too). Thank goodness the mat was there to break his fall. Ben was VERY upset. I looked him over and he looked good - no scratches or anything. I think he scared himself more than anything. I just couldn't believe it. He's never done that before!!! He doesn't even get close to the front door. I've learned my lesson though and I'm going to have to figure out another way to get his stuff ready for the walk (I hate to close the door when I'm out because I'm afraid Ben might pull his trach out/stop breathing/etc. and I won't be able to see him until I physically come back inside). Could it be time to buy some baby gates?
So my question is:
Was this Ben's first attempt at running away from home? Or was he just so excited to go on a walk that he decided to meet me half way? Or even better, did he miss me so much in that one minute I was gone that he had to come and find me?
