Scary

So tonight I had a bit of a scare. About 5 minutes after Tim left for work I hear a double thump from upstairs and then a scream. A tiny man scream! I dropped my laptop and ran upstairs to see the dresser fallen over and Deven underneath it! My heart was ready to leap out of my chest. I ran in grabbed the chest and yelled to Dylan to help me. Dylan was a bit frozen just staring at Deven laying there. My poor bubba looked so frightened and Deven, well Deven was about hysterical. As I grabbed the dresser one of the drawers shifted and hit Deven in the shin and his screaming got louder. I pulled it off him and gathered him in my arms and he started wriggling and his breathing was rapid. I was trying to check him over, make sure there was no broken bones and he kept looking over my shoulder at the dresser and trying to push away from me sobbing "let me get away mommy, I want to get away from it". Just then Tim called, I had my phone but hadn't gotten a moment to dial him so I picked up the phone and told Tim what happened. Deven got out of my arms, Dylan had ran downstairs to get Deven's blanket so Deven snatched it and ran downstairs. Then came rushing back up to ask if daddy was coming home and then to talk to Tim on the phone.
Dylan helped me put all the drawers back and clean up while Deven was talking. I asked Dylan what happened and he said Deven had pulled out the drawers to climb up so that he could change the CD in the CD player. Then proceeded to tell me that he himself had done it earlier, "I did it earlier mom and nothing happened to me so it was OK."!!!! I know my face held a look of horror and I started the upset mom rant. Your the big boy, you know better and you can't do things like that, someone might get hurt etc... but the crestfallen look on my face reminded me just how young my big guy is so I put a smile on my face and told him it wasn't his fault. It was just an accident. When he was feeling better I talked to Tim again, all the while Deven was downstairs coloring like nothing ever happened. The only thing I can see is a bruise on his shin, from me moving the dresser the way I did. He has no problem being near the dresser but did ask me to play his CD for him instead of trying to do it himself.
So now both my boys have had the same dresser fall on them and came out unscathed! Another day another story to tell their girlfriends!!!!
