As a mom, quiet scares me... it never used to but with 2 small kids quiet is now something I translate into "trouble." For example...
Last night I left Parker in the bathtub for 5 seconds while I grabbed his jammies. When I called out asking if he was okay and didn't get a reply I ran into the bathroom. There he was with the soap bottle 1/2 empty making himself the bubbliest bubble bath I have ever seen! His response: "WOW mom, I didn't know it could do this!" He wasn't supposed too... that was the point.
Second example: This morning while making breakfast Lillie somehow slipped under my feet while I was in the fridge pulling out the eggs. Parker was playing on the computer and I didn't hear Lillie for a minute and of course became concerned. I looked in the hallway and there she was with bright red all over her face and onesie. For a brief moment I freaked out thinking she was bleeding from her head. That is until she started trying to chug the Ketchup straight from the bottle!!!

I know exactly what you mean! The sound of silence definitely is cause to worry around our house. Who knew such a welcome sound in the past could cause such uneasiness now? For example, today, Jovey was quiet, and when I went to look at what she may be getting into, she had slipped into the ajar door of the guest room and was up in the chair, trying to play the piano. She, or course, thought it only fair as mommy plays on it during the day at times!
Maybe we should invest in tracking devices for our kids... haha..
Although, Jovey's quiet sneaky adventure was a bit more constructive than Lillie and Parker. It's just a matter of time before she is painting your walls with nailpolish or putting lipstick on Stormy.... just you wait...can't wait to see those pics!
