Too Close

So the other day I was working (I work from home) and I went into my bedroom where I have a big ugly filing cabinet.  Anyway, my little shadow Anna had to follow me to the back of course.  Just as I opened the filing cabinet drawer she stepped on the lowest drawer of Morgan's dresser which has our big old tv on top of it. 

It was like slow-motion.  It was falling...I was screaming...Anna was trying to get out of the way...

The drawers hit her in the face as they were falling open.  She was pinned between the top drawer and the bottom of the t.v.  It must have been one of those adrenaline mom moments for me because I was able to get her out before the full weight was on her little body. 

I have never cried so hard in my whole life.  It was such a close call and could have been so bad.  I feel like the world's worst mom and vow to never have anything so unstable in my home EVER again!

She wasn't knocked out so I just took her to the pediatrician.  He said she looked fine and just to watch her and to call him if she was vomiting. 

All she wanted to do after the doctor was go to her swim lessons where she splashed around and was her normal crazy self.  She has a few bruises but overall is just fine.

I know that there were angels looking out for my little one.  She could have been crushed.  Luckily neither she nor my heart were.

Anna the Drama Queen

Since Anna doesn't have any siblings and she is cooped up with me most of the day she has developed quite an imagination.  She constantly is talking and making up stories.  It is so cute to hear what she comes up with.  She is usually going on a safari in search of her stuffed animals (Thanks Diego).  Or she is wearing a pretend tiara that she takes everywhere with her.  Anytime her fist is clenched it means she is holding her tiara. 

The funniest though is that she has two voices for herself.  One is her normal voice and one is much lower.  Hopefully I don't need to be worried about this.  I always ask her name when she is talking in the low voice but she usually says her name is Anna.  Sometimes it is Erwin though. 

Anyway,  last Sunday we were having dinner at my parent's and she was downstairs with all her cousins playing.  After a while I heard her screaming and crying coming up the stairs.  From the sound of her I assumed she had lost a limb or had some major flesh wound. 

Nope. 

I asked her what happened thinking that someone maybe took a toy or pushed her. 

Nope. 

"She hit me!" was her reply through the sobs.

"Who hit you Anna?"

"Anna did!!"

ummmm how do I respond to this child who has crocodile tears streaming down her face? 

"Anna, say you are sorry."

"Sorry Anna" (she replied in her low voice)

and that was that.  Off she went to play.

Should I be worried?  :)
