Heart-stopping (Anna)

I had Emma tucked up in my arms this evening about to brush her teeth. Suddenly, she threw her head back, closed her eyes and started shaking violently, like she was having a fit.

"Emma! Emma! Are you ok?"I said, pretty panicked, mentally trying to work out how to get to the phone to call an ambulance with her in my arms.

She stopped shaking, opened her eyes and looked at me with concern. It's probably a voice she hasn't heard me use much. "I ok, Mumma. Are you?"she said curiously. I took a deep breath and tried to calm my heart beat.

And then she did it again. Stopped and giggled at herself. And then did it again.

Oddly enough, Mumma did not join in the giggling.
