Wed 7:31am -- I'm in the basement loading the washing machine.
The whole time I'm down there I can hear the king.
He's "eeeee-ing" loudly and he sounds really distressed and anxious.
This goes on for almost 5 minutes. And I'm about to yell up to the wife,
"Are you with him? What's bothering him?"
But I don't, and I go upstairs in a few minutes and my perspective totally changed.
He was sitting at the table happily watching a show on his iPad while eating pancakes & bananas & happily "eeee-ing" loudly.
No distress, no anxiousness, just happy.
Funny how your perspective can change so quickly.
The lesson here?
Don't believe your ears.

Glad he was happy! Sorry it caused you anxiety!
ReplyDeleteI like a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteThat's how my son showed his happiness...eee'ing....now at 22 its aaaahh'ing. The louder, the happier. :)
ReplyDeleteNice work with the self restraint. Expectations often throw me for a loop.
ReplyDeleteWe've gotten pretty good at determining what is a happy noise and what is NOT a happy noise, but this still happens at least once every other day in our house. I absolutely admire your restraint! :)
