My worst fear is being left home with a two year old while taking a work call. Today it happened, and it lasted for an hour! There was a work emergency, these things cannot be planned and they cannot be deterred. So call was had while my rowdy two year made every effort to distract and raise my blood pressure to previously unseen levels. Here are some of the creative things she found toentertain herself with while I desperately tried to stay on topic:
- watched My Little Pony until we lost Netflix connection
- emptied an entire bin of toys at my feet
- emptied an entire bag of safety pins into my lap
- watched PJ Masks until we lost Netflix connection
- emptied an entire packet of tissues while loudly yelling "ACHU ACHU" through the loud speaker
- demanded candy from my desk, I gave in, it only made her come back for more
- colored on one page of my notebook
- demanded cuddle and then attempted to bang on my computer
- poked at the dog in his cage and made him whine
- demanded more candy
- ran away with candy
- came back and demanded a show, I put PJ Masks on again
- babbled excessively to take part in the meeting
At one point I thought I heard the front door open and frantically texted husband to come get her but he was just leaving the dentist office. He got home 15 minutes later and immediately came downstairs to claim our youngest. I was never happier to see him in my life! After that my brain began to function, then the meeting ended 15 minutes later.
