They must feel so bad. What a strange place for a changing table. When my DS was about 8-9 months I decided that I would make the top of his dresser his changing table. I had the top dresser drawer open because his wipes and such were in there. DH brought him in to be changed and I said "Keep an eye on him really quick while I grab something. Don't take your eyes off of him he could roll!!" And next thing I know, DH turns to look at the TV in the living room and DS rolls right into the drawer.
