Grandpa Johnson gave Troy a piggy-bank when we were in Idaho this past spring. Troy has L.O.V.E.D his piggy bank and ever since he was given it his eyes have been trained to find and earn money (quarters are best, ya know). We even bought Brock a little one too so he could have his own to fill with coins.
I was enjoying how quiet it was while Troy and Brock where upstairs playing in their room. Then came a LOUD thud. Brock instantly started crying and Troy came running to get me saying, "Brock is stuck! He's stuck!" I found him (thankfully) between two dresser drawers with his whole bedroom dresser laying on top of him. The little stinker. He claimed he was getting a pair of socks out, reaching to get a puzzle from on top the dresser, and/or reaching for his piggy bank. While I was putting the drawers back in we saw it…Troy's piggy bank. crushed. coins everywhere.
Unfortunately this crushed more than just mr. piggy. It crushed Troy's and Brock's hearts. Troy started crying, then Brock said, while still crying from his big scare, "I'll share mine with you Troy, I'll share mine!!!" Poor little Brockers felt so bad!
(reminds me of when my sister, Ann, was trampled over by a cow…scared us both so bad, so I offered her my popsicle since hers got stomped on, ha ha!)
I'm wondering if I need to have Brock wear a helmet 24/7. The turkey slid down our stairs in an empty box BACKWARDS last week. And no, Troy wasn't involved in the idea making of it. All Brock.

What was a "tragedy" turned into a "brother" moment. Such sweethearts! OK, Brock is definitely going to need full protective gear.....LOVE, Gma
LOL-I love Brock's face in the second pic! That story will go down in history. I also remember when we had a "dresser tragedy"...for whatever reason you were moving our dresser and set it on top of my glass unicorn. And, if memory serves correctly, you offered to share your glass cat with me. Funny how history has a way of repeating itself! Eli wants to give Troy a new piggy bank for Christmas; she felt so bad!
