when your child's to quiet and you find

[rosydreams]

today my when your child's to quiet and you find was interesting.Caught my one year old trying to devour this ,thankfully i was able to throw the poor creature out the window before he got to munched =p

My children are grown up now but one day when they were about 4 and 2 they were playing in the playhouse in the garden. They were very quiet and when I went to investigate found that the 2 yr old had taken the 4 yr olds glasses and broken them into 4 pieces, 2 lenses and 2 arms!
It was a bit of a nightmare as daughter had terrible eyesight and we had no spares. With her very high prescription it took a week to get a new pair made!

When my boy was about 1 he had a really bad bun rash, so we kept him with no nappies as much as possible throughout the day. Me and hubs are at the laptop planning some holiday dates, kid is on the floor playing like 2 feet behind our backs. Too quiet all of a sudden, I turn and he's eating his own poop of the floor 🤢. Both me and hubs felt equally grossed, worse parents in the world and like laughing our asses off. 😁

Mine drew on their faces with lipstick on the first day of lockdown.

Whenever my youngest brother went quiet mum and i had to hunt him down quick, before he a) set fire to himself and the house (he loved playing with matches) or b) jumped from the windowsill again and caught his lip on the table. He did this twice and now has a scar on his lip.

He once got out his pushchair at the clinic and turned the corner to run down a very very busy road - Rochester Road in fact! Luckily, a man painting the front of his house saw him and managed to get hold of the little monster.

Yep. As long as I can hear my youngest I know all is fine. He is also quite loud usually so the silence is deafening.
When he was a 1yo he emptied the freezer and ate some frozen fish fingers. Food all over the kitchen floor. As a 2yo he had fun using my makeup as paint. He also quickly worked out how to climb up to the biscuit cupboard. My eldest didn't figure these things out until he was about 4yo so I was taken by surprise. Although that one would take great delight in emptying out and unlocked cupboards or drawers.
Eldest once found a live woodlouse crawling across the hallway floor and popped it in his mouth. He spat that out again though.

My 4 year old picked up a biro and drew a house on the cream carpet!

My youngest didn't sleep properly till he was over 3. I spent his baby and toddler years on a total daze.
So one day when he and his older brother were playing quietly upstairs I left them to it. Got myself a hot, strong coffee and enjoyed sitting down for a bit.
Right up until I spotted a drip coming from the ceiling.
Toddler son had gone into the bathroom and had first unrolled an entire loo roll into the toilet. Then he took the cardboard inner and shoved it down the sink plughole. It has one of those plugs that pop up and down and he very quickly learned you can lift the whole thing out - to then block with a loo roll inner. Then he'd turned the tap on and just watched.
The bathroom floor was flooded. It was flowing across the landing to the open staircase, running along the ceiling and then dripping. Had it taken me any longer to notice and we'd probably have been looking at more serious damage. As it was I had to abandon my coffee and spend a long time mopping. It has been a long time since that day and I still don't trust the silence.

When my lovely grand daughter drew all over my brand new head board for the bed. It’s grey with faint remnants left of pink and purple crayon squiggles.

Also the time I gave my daughter some washing to put in the washing machine while I gathered the rest of it. She put it all in the toilet and was watching it soak up toilet water.
