With all this beautiful weather we are having, I love keeping the windows open as much as possible. The other evening they were all wide open while I got Owen fed, bathed, teeth brushed, rocked, and put to bed. Once he was in bed, I returned to the living room and realized how dark it was outside. Being that it was just the little guy and myself at home for the evening, I shut the windows and set the house alarm. I then went on with doing other stuff as you do once the kids are in bed...dishes, folding laundry, etc. About an hour later I opened the back door to set the trash out and there it was...the house alarm in full intruder mode. I run and disarm it, then run to Owen's room. This won't be good, I thought to myself. I opened his door and he is half sitting up, with a look of shear terror on his face. Poor kid was too scared, and too confused to even scream. I scoop him up and tell him it's OK, mommy just set off the house alarm. He really was better than I thought he'd be given he had just been woken up by an ear piercing siren. I calmed him down, one more round of rocks and songs, and put him back to bed.
The next morning we get up and go in to the living room. "No more farm, mommy" he says. Hmmm...no more farm?? I ask him what farm? "No farm mommy!!" He is adamant. "I don't know farm, Owen. Can you show me"? "No show you mommy! No show you farm...it says WOOWOOWOOWOO real loud in my bed!!" Oh-no ALARM! Gotchya. So we spent the next hour talking about the alarm, and no alarm when he is sleeping, and all things alarm related. And of course I made him say WOOWOOWOO about 20 more times...
Sorry Owen. But I sure do love you kid!
