Am Apprehension
Posted by helmut
This morning Helmut and I awoke to something highly unusual for our house, quiet. My first thought upon waking was where the heck is hayden. Helmut got up and did a cursory check of our bedroom, not finding hayden he headed over to hayden’s bedroom….still nothing. At that point i jumped out of bed thinking maybe he got one of the doors open and headed outside. Clearly i do not know my child well enough yet for he was in the kitchen sitting on the counter stuffing cookies and vitamins in his mouth like they were going out of style. I wasn’t sure if i should be relieved or scared. I mean, what happens when you eat too many multivitamins followed by half a dozen chocolate chip oatmeal cookies?! I’ll tell you what happens, your 2.5 year old child bounces off the walls for the next 5 hours before crashing into bed for a 2 hour nap. Helmut did call poison control who told us not to worry, at worst he might throw up from the vitamins.
In less interesting news, we took the bike and front pack and went to visit the williamson county regional park. 800 acres of goodness. It was fantastic, i really felt like we were in the middle of nowhere as i road the bike on the perfectly manicured bike trail…until i made it to the road that is. All joking aside it was a great place and Helmut and I are both looking forward to checking out more of the trails next weekend.

I shared this story with a friend, Who’s facebook status was: “If you hear silence in your home, and you know that your toddler is awake, then one should not breathe a sigh of relief, but should allow the embers of suspicion to be fanned into roaring flames of grave concern.” His two year old had announced, “hair wet…Phoebe hair wet.” She stuck her head in the toilet water. It made me think of you. =)
