When Hunter was little, and didn't answer when I called his name it caused a panic. Did he get out of the house some how? Did he fall in the toilet or cat dish and drown? Did he stumble upon some hidden peanut butter left by the previous home owner 15+ years ago and is now silently suffering a combination anaphylaxis botulism attack??
Now that he is older, and he doesn't answer when I call him, the feeling is more akin to dread. What is he up to now? Today I was sewing some buttons on a skirt, and I realized that he'd been up stairs going potty for a long time. A long, quiet time. I called to him to see what he was doing and got nothing. I went up stairs to the bathroom, knocked, opened the door, and found a slightly panicked 5 year old, the handle to the cold water facet in his hand, water on full blast, and sink filled to the over flow holes. Good times.
