Hiding Spot
On Monday we had beautiful weather here in Dallas. For the first time in months the temperature dropped into the 80's during the day. It was so nice we opened all the windows in the house.
The kids loved it.
Additionally, Connor has a new habit. When we tell him "no" about something, which happens pretty frequently, he cries and runs off to his private hiding spot. It's in the front room, next to the couch, behind the side table. He snuggles down and hides and cries until someone gets him.
On Monday, we were in the back family room when we told Connor "no" about something. He trotted off, fussing and crying and we knew he was going to his hiding spot. We heard a crash and looked at one another, but honestly, we hear crashes all the time so we didn't think much of it. I casually got up, walked to the hiding spot to coax Connor out and I found him outside the window with leaves stuck in his hair and all over his clothes.
I guess, making his was to his hiding spot, he decided to climb on the lower shelf of the side table. Normally that would be fine with the window there, but when he pushed his head up against the window it was actually the screen and he fell outside. I wish I had a picture but I started yelling for Carl that Connor fell out the window and it was a little too dramatic for pictures. He was totally fine, just a little surprised and we all ended up laughing. We had to step outside to brush all the leaves off him.
We've decided to keep that window closed.
