When it comes to cries for “HELP!” I’m generally the first responder.
Take yesterday, for instance.
He was yelling for me as loudly as he could.
“MOM! HELP!” He was stuck. I was 100% shocked when he got after me for getting him down. Apparently, he didn’t want down. He wanted in the crib.
He’d cabbaged onto a Candyland game board, so I thought he wanted to play. I told Lacy that Trent wanted to play Candyland with her, and she happily hopped into the crib with him. I went into the kitchen to clean or something else housewifey when I heard Trent screaming.
I went in to see them fighting over the game board.
“Trent! It’s MY! I just got it for my BIRTHDAY!”
“MYYYYY COMPUTER!”
Ah.
Computer.
And all this time I thought he was actually using it as a game board. Never once did I see it’s “lap top” capabilities.
Can you see them now? When you fold the game board in half and tote it around, it looks like a very thin very large tap top. And when you open it?
Magic!
Lucky for me, I happen to have TWO Candyland game boards on account of Lacy’s sabotaging her first on with all manner of playdough and juices.
Within minutes, the problem was resolved and went back to watching Bleak House. Er, I mean… cleaning.
