A little fright

Oh my god, Tage just gave me a total heart attack. He was sitting in his high chair eating supper and I was sitting here at the computer, less than six feet from him but with my back to him. Suddenly it struck me that he was being unusually quiet, so I turned to look at him and saw that he was sitting completely silent and still, eyes closed and gripping a fork in one hand. My heart skipped a beat and I jumped up to go to him. He didn’t respond when I called his name, and he didn’t stir at all when I picked him up from the high chair. Of course, he had merely fallen asleep, and after I reassured myself that he was breathing normally I took him into the bedroom and laid him on the bed. He’s never been a kid to just fall asleep without warning, and he has never, ever come even close to falling asleep sitting straight up in his high chair. God, that scared me.

  1. OMG! That would have totally freaked me out as well. My little guy is also scaring the heck out of me. He wants the forks and knives and standing on chairs and all that horrible stuff. Guess I’m going to have more gray hair from this kid!

  2. Eek, it sounds like our boys are kindred spirits! Aren’t little boys so much different from little girls?!
