I've been trying to wrap my head around Maya's little "situation" the other day. I couldn't understand how she could be standing (I know, standing ??) in the top drawer of her armoire when it came crashing down and escape with nary a bruise. I asked her where she was when the armoire landed and she said calmly, "I was under it" After I started to breathe again, I asked her how she got out from under it. "I just climbed out, mom." I didn't understand how this didn't somehow crush her, break her little leg or skull or something vital like that. When yesterday I was (finally!) helping her clean her room and at the bottom of the pile I find this..
A lunchbox my mom sent her last year for her birthday.
Notice how it looks a little, shall we say, misshapen? Yeah, it didn't come like that.
The top of the armoire landed smack on the metal lunchbox, crushing it in the process, but sparing Mayas bones. When I asked Maya what she needed so badly that would compel her to scale furniture, risking life and limb in the process, to get? "My ballerina" She answered simply.... A 2 inch ballerina?? It's the little spinning ballerina from her jewelry box.
Thank goodness it all turned out OK, (minus a broken armoire door)!

yikes...thats like when I had that accident riding my bike(the collar bone accident) and my helment actually cracked in two. If I wasn't wearing that thing it would have been my head! thank goodness for little things that get in the way!
So I guess Miss Maya needs a new lunch box! Thank heavens for 'guardian angels' that must work overtime!
Sure glad SOMETHING was in the way!
Oh Amber, Cindy told me about this and I can't believe it! I'm so happy she's safe.
Wow! I'm thinking now might be a good time to bolt that piece of furniture to the wall! That is too scary. We are so happy to hear that Maya is ok. I can't imagine if, cute, Maya had been where that lunchbox had been when it all came crashing down. That little girl must be walking around with some kind of invisible shield like a superhero, or like that ditzy girl from that dumb book I just read!
How scary! I bet you were just dying. I am so glad she is okay what a little angel!
