Traumatized!

Today, Ivan was making dinner while Jadyn and I were vacuuming. The smoke alarm went off for a few seconds.  Jadyn was so freaked out about it! He was literally shaking. We calmed him down and showed him the alarm and told him that when the alarm smelled smoke, it would beep.  Jadyn repeated it over and over and was still shaking after 30 minutes or so.  He kept telling us that the alarm and the smoke scared him.  He kept pointing to it and telling us how loud it was. He did not want to leave either of us.  He asked me to hold him while he watched tv and then he asked me to lay down with him for a few minutes before bed (which we never do). My poor kid is traumatized.  I wouldn't be surprised if he wakes up in the middle of the night or when he first wakes up, if he talks about it again. I just hope for no nightmares!

On a different note, Jadyn cracked me up.  When I put him down for a nap, he was only in a pull up. After he fell asleep, I opened his door since we didn't have the monitor plugged in (it was still in the suit case) and I can barely hear him through the door. Needless to say, my child took off the pull up and was sleeping naked with his butt in the air.  Luckily, no accidents!!!  I was laughing so hard, I am surprised I didn't wake him up. I did take a picture though - there was no way I was going to miss that opportunity.  

In the few days that Jadyn and Ivan went to Florida, Jadyn has changed so much.  I swear he is talking more and that he grew taller. As much as I missed my boys, I really did enjoy some "me" time.  It's been a long time since I ate dinner on the couch in front of the tv, or watched tv in bed before actually getting up, etc. 

Well until next time...,
