Never Trust When All Is Quiet!

Every parent knows their child, yes? Yes. I know and love my Jacob who, like his grand-aw, has learned to whisper in a saw-mill (love ya mum but it's true!) Be it driving his cars it's, "VRRUUUUMMMM!" or watching TV there is always a little voice narrating what is happening if I am not watching it with them. Even then I sometimes get the narration. Anyone thinking that he's going to be a sports announcer... may he not be as annoying as Madden. Any how, he will sing when they sing, jump when they jump, and he will come tearing around the corner to give me a summary or parrot what all was said by a character or two. The current is that he has a "hyp-office-says!(hypothesis)" or "Palaeobatrachus says RIBBBBBBBIIITTTTTT, mama!" Then other times you will hear the dump truck/crane/wh-oader you will hear, "BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, RRRRRRRRMMMM--- CrasH!" back up and repeat the verse. Other times he wants Playdough and you will hear him merrily singing while he works, "du-ta-duuuut-ta dute!" or "SSSQUIIISSSHHHHHH! SSSMMMMAAASSHHHH! CHOP CHOP, CUT-CUT" and last but not least you get, :MUUUUUUUSH!" Sometimes he will be operating his 'noisy toys' thanks to all my aunt, uncle, and a few friends, oh yeah and parents and in-laws (FYI- you all become out-laws when I finally get the headache of the century.) Have I ever told you all that I don't ever get even--- I do get ahead -- and so you know it will be when you're least expecting it ... say, 10 years down the road? You also have Meghan, who loves to follow me around grab my leg and give out her throaty, but some-what devious laugh! She love clanging pots and pans, slamming cupboard doors, or yowelling as Clint calls it. Now Quinn is vocally the quietest when he isn't testing his, as a friend best stated it, "Pterodactyl call!" Or his Yettie walk... He mostly loves chasing, following or just cruising around to check-out what others are doing. He loves walking/running. Okay, so the FALLING isn't so quiet either but, hey!? Well, I know in my house that when there is quietness at this level I should ALWAYS be worried! Better yet, terrified! What stinks is I know this. I know this very well. I have been at this state and learned from it. Or so I thought I learned from it! When, all was 'calm' so I thought I decided to 'quick' use the restroom. When I snuck into the lou Jacob was driving cars, and Meghan was sitting by the little-one's small table in the kitchen quietly chewing on dollies head. Quinn followed me with his steady, and well known for, grace, Yettie walk, "CLOMP, CLOMP!" he sat down in front of the cabinet to open and slam doors and drawers-- all was well, or so I thought. I came out to find....

At least she has the manners to SHARE her loot!

I had to look at his forehead to see the difference!

I am not sure that even in the photos you can tell but THIS IS NOT his natural color!
