Moments Like These Make Me Smile

Thursday, June 12, 2008 by Bethany

My 9-month-old daughter is banging away on her Leapfrog drum making more noise than my pre-parent ears could handle. But having had two now, I just giggle. The kid's occupied and it's a dream. She's grinning ear to ear with her accomplishment to make noises at will.... and my son joins in singing and banging on his own bongo drums.

In 15 minutes, I'll have had enough of the banging from both of them, but at the moment, it almost seems peaceful from my spot on the couch. So much so, I just grabbed a soda and a book. This "occupied" time might let me read a chapter.

isn't it funny that as long as they are busy, it doesn't matter how loud it is, you can almost tune it out just for a few minutes of down time to do something for yourself.

you'll have to put out some more instruments...then you can read two chapters next time. ;)

It sounds to me like your nine month old little girl and mine are in cahoots. I don't know about you, but for me girls are so much louder than boys. At least he was quiet until she came along.
