Man my poor tot has had a rough few days. First daycare, then the McDonald's bonk, and now...HE PULLED OUR DRESSER OVER!!! Our huge, massive, not all that tall dresser fell over! And he is fine!
I was with him the whole time. I was sitting there pumping and he was pulling out all the drawers like he likes to do. Again, in hindsight, probably a foolish thing to let him do but it wasn't the first time and I was sitting right there... Anyway, I wasn't watching exactly at that moment because I was probably distracted by my boob or something...but I really don't think he was climbing it and I saw it start going over! You might picture a long, drawn out "Nooooooooo!" a la Principal Skinner but as my child's short life flashed before my eyes I screamed a very short and very high "No!" The bed and the fact that he is the skinniest thing on two legs somehow "saved" him. My mommy adrenaline kicked in something fierce and I threw the pump parts aside and rushed to pull the very heavy dresser back up with one hand. The frame of our fancy bed caught the edge of the dresser so he was trapped between the mattress and the dresser's edge. Oh my gosh...if it had completely crushed him...well, I shudder to think. We had a special, sentimental guitar lamp on top that broke into J's sock drawer (must take care of that before he goes looking for socks) and the TV and all that fell off and unplugged themselves. Nothing else seems broken yet. Especially not my boy. Whew.
That is after I put the dresser back up and the TV on top. I didn't know where else to start. Scary, scary, scary!
So that was our morning's excitement.
As if that weren't enough...the boys are also wearing new outfits today...now how exciting is that? Eh?
Cuties.
Pictures of them at doughnut time yesterday:
And then E and I did some painting. 
10 points if you can tell me who this is supposed to be:
I painted him (from upsidedown), not Easton. He is not an artistic prodigy. He can put a halfway decent face, ears, hair, and toes on a circle if I draw it for him. That's about as far as his artistic talent goes just yet. When should they start holding brushes and pencils "right"? 'Cause that might have something to do with it...
Easton ate half a waffle and then asked for something else this morning. I never wanted to be the type to give in to that kind of stuff...and I don't always. But, since he was asking for oatmeal and I want him to eat I gave in. And he ate a whole packet of oatmeal. And he looked very cute eating it at the top of the stairs:
I don't remember him getting a call but he must've needed it for something.
Here he is just being cute looking up at me:
Okay, well, we went to Kohl's to return something this morning. Easton is running a little sleep deprived still so he wasn't being the best listener (not "bad", though) and we had to leave Kohl's before I could spend too much money :) I've been telling him all day that he's going to take a nap. I say, "Not books. Not quiet time. A nap." He was agreeable. He went right down for his nap, no calling for me, no wanting his timer, nada. Just before I left his room he said, "I want to share M.M.'s with Mommy when I wake up." Deal. You take a nap we'll share M&M's, kid.
I think I'll go wake him here soon. M&M's sound delish!

I totally recognize the Yo Gabba Gabba dude, but can't think of his name. I think that show seriously brainwashes toddlers. It is so bizarre how tuned into it Adam gets.
Now onto more important things...HOLY COW about the dresser! That had to be terrifying. I can't believe Easton walked away unscathed. Thank goodness he's such a skinny dude.
Adam really liked the oatmeal video. Your laugh was too cute. :)
OMG! I can't believe the dresser fell over. I know some people latch them to the walls, but I always think, "Do kids really pull them over all that often?" HOW SCARY! I'm glad he's a wee lad.
The oatmeal video cracked me up!
Oh man, do I miss Kohl's!
And in more important news, I'm so happy to read that you & E are both okay after the dresser tipping. Thank goodness!! What a horrible thing to be sitting there watching it go over... [shudder] ugh.
I think perhaps I really will get around to attaching our stuff to the walls once we get settled back home.
That is so scary!! I've been OCD about bolting the bookshelves to the wall, but I never even thought about the dressers. Yikes!
And Dalton is pretty much the cutest thing ever! He has the sweetest smile.
Wow do I have bad spelling tonight or what?! Okay Here's what I said minus the spelling errors . . . So scary!!! I'm so glad E is okay! Apparently Todd did that exact same thing when he was little! Why do kids do that??? Oh and you will be getting mail in 7 - 10 days. I'm such a slacker! But it will be there before Halloween!
I just want to start by saying, your boys have the most amazing eyes and smiles! So adorable!
My kids have knocked over a tall dressor on themselves TWICE!!! And lived to tell, I have no idea what happened, it was a huge heavy dresser too! YIKES! So glad E survived!!!
And I totally agree with AJ about Yo Gabba Gabba!
Holy Cow!!! That's awful, guess he doesn't know his own strength..so glad he his okay!
That is so scary Kristin. I don't want to even visualize it. So glad E is ok!!! Poor thing has had a tough time the last couple days.
No 10 points for me. I had ZERO clue who that was. LOL!!!
Hope yall enjoyed some M&M's. Those are one of my fav's!!
I can't believe he pulled the dresser over. I am so glad he is ok and kudos to you for your super mommy powers.
I also don't get 10 points because I thought it was Elmo. I've never really heard of the Yo Gabba thing.
Love the outfits and the adorable little boys wearing them. Daltons hair seems so long in one of the pictures. They grow up so fast...lol
That is that crazy yo gabba gabba thing that I can't stand but John John loves. Why do they think it is a good show???
Bet you thought the comments were over on this one. Adam has become a tad obsessed with this oatmeal video. We watch it and he just laughs and laughs. It's a riot. :)
He's also begging me to go play at Easton's house. It's cute and sad at the same time!
