So in the midst of the birthday fun yesterday, we learned a lesson in childproofing for boys.
Alex and Kirkley had just headed out the door for preschool,
and I was vacuuming when the cord came out of the wall and it shut off.
I heard Jay screaming and ran in to find him flat on his back underneath...
The dresser/changing table was totally on top of him in his nursery that I had just left.
I slung it off of him and called Alex to come help me check him out.
Thankfully, they were still in the driveway, and by the time Alex was checking him, Jay was giggling.
His only battle wound was a tiny pink scratch on his cheek.
I laid on the floor and said prayers of thanksgiving!
He was back to his old tricks in no time.
We're quickly finding out this boy is turning our house upside down.
This dresser has been in the same spot for over four years and has never turned over.
The furniture is bolted and hooked to studs in the wall in Kirkley's room...Jay's is next!
"God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."

*Yes, the cute knobs Katie painted on the second drawer are off -- not for childproofing,
but they don't fit right, and I haven't fixed them. :)

Hey, I popped over from Joy Ward's blog... I think we all went to high school together. Anyway, just wanted you to feel better about your boy's room. I have three boys and they were so destructive I ended up taking everything out but their bed. No toys, no dressers, nothin'. Just the beds. They finally got a nice rug a year or two ago.
I know that's pathetic, but when you have kids who will take a glue stick to their wall, or who would take off their diapers and run toy cars through their poop, it just starts to feel pointless...
However, my twins are 7 now and I figured they've earned the right to a For Real Bedroom, so that's my goal for the year: making the boys' room look less like a prison.
First step: remove glue from walls.
Your kids are cuties!!
If it makes you feel any better, Laurel (White) Dudley and I climbed my dresser to DANCE on top of it when we were little. It fell on us, and she had to get a few stitches. And I wonder why Trent does crazy stuff... :)
