And don't forget - pulling the blanket up to cover your head is a "force multiplier" when you're scared! Funny anecdote from my childhood (that doesn't involve gun-play): one night when I was I think about six or seven, my battery powered Tonka dump truck shorted out and "came to life" powering up and rolling around my room!
Oh! Just the other night G's musical night thingy that hangs on his crib shortted out. Picture this. 4-ish in the morning. Flashing lights. A slowed down womans voice (due to lack of battery life) that sounded like Hubert on Family Guy, singing "Its lullaybe time, sleep little baby etc...) And to make things even more terrifying the damn thing started repeating "Its lullaybe time, Its lullaybe time..." Over and over again. Until it got really slow.....And I dont know what happened after that because, I left my kid in the crib and hauled ass out the room And I didnt go back until I heard him laughing Mother of the year award
Awesome! It seems electronics & children's toys are a deadly combination! Way back when, my daughter loved the movie Pocahontas. We were in Walmart or somewhere, and she squeezed a talking doll on display. The voice was all slowed down (most likely from 10,000 kids squeezing on it and draining the power). The voice drawled "Hi.....I'm Pocahontas" in a very deep, sexy, husky voice.
Deep, sexy, and Husky voice... lol!@!!! Thats what mine sounded like!!! except a lil pedophile sounding
My son was a big fan of "Home Alone" and his grandmother sent him a pull-string doll of the McCulkin kid. It worked fine until he buried in sand for a few days. I swear that kid is part dog! Anyway.... When he digs it back up and pulls the string, the doll lets out an unholy shriek that came from the bowels of Hell!
To funny! G seems to have a bit of a attitude and there is a ton of models around here, I really really hope he dont have digging fasincation/breaking/throwing issues. Ive already caught him slobbering on the Titanic
That is so cool I am so jealous. We have no nursery, we have the living room and coslept for the first year. In fact with 6 people our house is a bit of a shambles right now (when is it not really but more so now) and we have what I like to call 'ghost toys' when you are walking around in the middle of the night from SOMEWHERE you hear 'Can we fix it yes we can' and then a VROOM somewhere else of a car or a baby doll and I think AGGGHHHH and remember the movie Toy Soldiers.
Welcome to the world of "boys". When my older son was born, the card my sister sent me sad something like ... "the joys of bringing a baby boy into the house" ... then you open the card and it goes on with a list "as well as bits of string and broken toys and ...[...] and 'valuable' rocks" It's the last one that my younger son constantly reminds me of. Doesn't matter where we go, he always find some rock that he HAS to pick up and bring home.
Pfft boys are easy compared to girls attitude wise. And here it is 'pets' not so much rocks (although we did go through the rock phase). The kids have already drug out and washed the extra aquariums for the frogs and lizards and other lovely creatures that they find keep in the aquariums on the table all summer....
Mine did that around three or four years old. It seems a lot of them do this....why is this? Why rocks that are actually quite common?
