All parents know the time to worry about what their children may be doing is when it doesn’t sound like they are doing anything at all. I never expected the warning silences to begin so soon!
Sam is very gentle but is definitely all boy. When he is playing, there is a fair amount of noise. There are books falling off a shelf, blocks bouncing off of the wall, and his little noises and giggles. I can keep an ear on him while I get other things done around the house. There must be something that children are born with that tells them to resort to silence when they are doing something they shouldn’t be. Sam isn’t even a year old, and when I haven’t heard him for a few minutes, I know I’m going to find him doing something alarming.
When my house falls to silence, there are a few things that may have happened:
1. Sam got his box of wipes open and has pulled every single wipe out and spread them all over the living room.
2. Eric left his Play Station control on the floor and Sam is resetting all of his options.
3. I left the bathroom door open and Sam is giving one of Dee Dee’s toys a bath in the toilet.
4. Sam has wriggled through the barricade at the bottom of the stairs and is in the dining room, pulling the tablecloth to the floor.
5. Sam found my cell phone, called Wells Fargo and then activated voice dial.
I never would have thought a noisy child would be music to my ears!
