Boogeyman

August 25. 2014

So, Isaac almost gave me a heart attack last night. 

I'd brought him downstairs to sleep on the couch because he was getting fussy on the bed for some reason (I think because it was hot up there). Once I got him to sleep, I went back to my office to do some work. 

So about an hour later I come back out to take him up to bed. I don't want to wake him, so I leave the lights off and approach the couch in complete darkness. Little do I realize he'd woken up and was standing right in the middle of the room. All I see is this short silhouette vaguely outlined by the dim lights from the street. And then he starts coming towards me with that little wobbly toddler walk.

I'm pretty sure I jumped at least six feet across the room. Not sure if I screamed like a little girl. Probably did.
