Not even strawberries…
Ordinarily, I shower at night sometime after Falco goes to bed, but
today I needed to actually bathe during his waking hours because we
are veering away from our hermit ways and hosting friends for
dinner. So, Matt was in charge of the boy while I showered. They
were playing when I made my departure, so Falco didn’t notice. A few
minutes into my shower, I knew he realized I was gone when he started
banging on the door and crying, “Mommy!” He did that a couple of
times, and then finally all was quiet.
Before I went to have 15 minutes to myself, I told Matt, half
jokingly, that Falco wanted me to draw cats and strawberries all the
time now, and I was sure that could keep them occupied. When I
emerged from the bathroom, the house was empty, and all I could find
was this abandoned Magna Doodle drawing of a strawberry. Apparently,
Matt actually tried doodling Falco’s current favorite subjects, but
even that was not enough to soothe the savage beast.

I used to treasure the silence when Babycakes would take the screaming baby for a car ride. A nice long car ride.
