It's not ALL marketing

You know how those safety gurus tell you to fasten ALL of your furniture to the wall? So they may be onto something. Both of the kids bookcases are fastened to the wall with L brackets but I hadn't fastened their dressers.

This morning, I had opened up the top drawer in Zane's room to pull out clothes because I'm packing for our trip. I closed the drawer and walked into Lily's room to add to the stack. Now mind you this dresser is heavy. Not just flimsy cardboard.

The next thing I heard was a crash and a scream. I ran into his room and there was Zane under the dresser. Somehow he's fine, I don't know how he didn't break something but he landed just perfectly. I'm guessing he too opened up the top drawer (copying me) and then tried to hang on it to peek inside. His weight was enough to pull the whole thing forward onto himself.

So now I will go to the baby safety mega aisle and buy the stupid furniture straps...
