What? I Can't Hear You!


Daniel and I have been in Chattanooga with my family since Sunday evening. Daniel has been asking about Bubba and Susu ever since they visited awhile back, and Joe has a busy week at work, so we packed up and did a last minute trip... as in we decided at 12 pm we should go and were out the door at 12:40 pm on an eight hour car ride.

The first morning we went to a playground where Daniel had a great time on the bouncing bridge, chimes, and slides. Since then there has been a lot of rain. He knows there is a ton of fun to be had outside, despite the ridiculous fire ant infestation and some stings on his foot, and has been pretty frustrated by being trapped indoors.

Last night at dinner Daniel was very fussy, constantly making noise. I'd had enough so I ran to my bedroom for a pair of ear plugs to take the edge off. Sometimes moms are great at figuring out how to stop the noise, but sometimes when that just isn't an option, like when it is time to eat and we can't go play blocks or buttons or buckles, moms just have to live with the noise.

Daniel noticed the purple plugs in my ears and was very concerned about them being there pointing at them, jabbering about them and pointing at his ears. His concern was very loud and almost as annoying at the fussing, so everyone at the table covered their ears with their hands. Daniel looked around at each of us and put his hands over his ears as well, at which point we all died laughing, including Daniel.
