Vacuum

Today, Daddy was putting up a magnet board on the wall, which involved tools that Eddie wasn't allowed around. Naturally he was very interested. I also had to vacuum up some dust, so the vacuum was out.

While I was taking a break, Eddie got over there. Mommy had warned him not to mess with the vacuum, but the red switch on the side was apparently too much for his curiosity to bear. He pushed it, and the vacuum came on with a roar.

Without missing a beat, Eddie did a smart about-face and walked quickly away. He didn't make any noise until he was a safe distance away. Then he cried "Mommy! Mommy!"

We wanted to be a little stern with him, as well as comforting. But we couldn't help laughing.


I'm glad to say that Eddie's sleeping a lot better now. When he goes down in his crib, he says "Nite nite. Ciao."
