It was probably the dragon-dinosaur costume my one-year-old was wearing that made her topple to the floor.  It was definitely her stubbornness that kept her hand gripped to the box of buttons on her way down.

The fall was dramatic.  My dragon-dinosaur kind of rolled onto the floor with her huge tail sticking up in the air.  The buttons flew everywhere.  My son and I froze as she hit the ground because if we fussed, she’d scream.

She popped up and broke the silence with “BUTT! BUTT! BUTT!” because those butt(ons) were everywhere.  My son declared it a Button Party and rushed over to help her pick them up.
