Silence is Golden


OK, so mothers know that by the time you realize that the noise from the next room where your kid is playing has stopped, sometimes it is too late! Silence is scary, you instantly wonder, "Oh Gosh! What is wrong???" You have visions of your beloved baby drinking Drano (even though you have 16 child locks on that cabinet) or floating in the toilet (could the lid have been left up?)


This happened to me the other day. Mailee went from her normal "chatty" self to suddenly silent. I freaked a little, had a small heart attack and frantically ran toward the hallway. Mailee, however, was in the room right next to me and was very busy... READING!


She pulled this book out of her toybox, sat down and was reading it cover to cover! (Notice the box of DVDs in the background that she used as a stool to boost herself up enough to reach the book!)


What a dream!!!
