Why I'm Not Mother of the Year

We had a huge scare yesterday. Dayna was putting her clothes away, which is a job she's had for several months now. She opened every drawer to her dresser at once. (I'm sure the experienced parents can see what happened next.) The entire dresser toppled on Dayna. We heard a scream, a crash, and instant crying. Running to her room, we see the dresser on the floor with all four drawers underneath it. We couldn't even see Dayna at first.

The good news is that Dayna is fine. She had a couple of marks on her forehead and chin. No broken skin, no broken bones, no bumps on the head! She was scared senseless (as were her parents.)

When I went in to clean up the damage, I noticed that the glass lamp from the top of the dresser was unbroken, as was Dayna's CD player. The wood floor in her room doesn't even have a scratch in it.

God was definitely protecting Dayna, and His angels were working overtime yesterday. Lesson learned...Dayna now opens ONE drawer at a time, and Daddy will be anchoring the dresser to the wall this weekend.
