Silence = Trouble

Being parents Tom and I have learned many things. One thing is that silence is never good. You may think silence is one of those rare things you may cherish when you have a kiddo in the house. It's not. It usually means he's doing something he shouldn't be doing. Silence = unrolling all the toilet paper in the bathroom. Silence = pulling all of the clothes out of the laundry basket. Silence = hiding toys in the fireplace. And the latest.....Silence = Pulling all the diapers out of a box laying obviously too close to his crib.
Since today was a holiday we all got to sleep late in the McMurtrie house. Jack woke up around 7 (his usual time, and yes this is sleeping late in our house). We thought he fell back asleep since we fell back asleep for about 20 minutes. Then we heard him again. So we wander into his room and find him sitting in a sea of diapers. Hahahahah. I guess it could have been much worse.

Ahh yes. The best is, no matter how many times you "learn" that lesson, you still don't realize it's been silent until it's too late.

What a sweet boy. I think he was just trying to change his diaper himself so you wouldn't have to when you got up, but he just couldn't figure it out and it took him that many diapers before he realized it wasn't the diapers, but him. :)
