Sleepless Nights and Funny Things


Ok....Who would have thought a little fun game (mixed with a little fire safety lesson) would cause so much trouble?
The picture above is the cause for many sleepless nights in the Hembree household. It seems now Tyler is afraid our new home will burst into flames at any moment due to all the smoke detectors in the house. He stays awake staring at the stupid thing waiting for it to sound us all to attention!
He asked me what it was, what is it for, what sounds does it make....a million and one questions about it and then wanted to pretend it went off and what we would do. Stupid mommy told the truth and tried to teach him fire safety. Guess I deserve getting up at all hours to turn on lights and calm him and his brother back to sleep.
On another note....he also wanted to know what shrimp were and what they looked like. I told him I could show him a picture on the computer. He says " Oh like on shrimp dot com, right?"
Why can't my little boy just be 5 and play with trucks or something?????

It is good you are blogging. You need to keep this and write a book when he is President.
