I didn't realize just how wonderful quiet is until school started. My daughter is out all day and my son has started pre-kindergarten. That only leaves the baby and as long as she's not hungry, she's pretty quiet. From about 8AM until 12:30PM my house is loud with quiet. It's almost deafening. My husband worked from home two days this week and he noticed it also. It's a strange feeling to suddenly have no "noise". You can actually hear other sounds, like rain, birds, the wind in the trees (my favorite) and you can even hear yourself think. A-Mazing!
It almost makes me nervous. The noise always told me the kids were alive and hadn't broken any bones. Now I have to remind myself that they aren't home and the quiet is not an indication that they're making an atom bomb.
The best part is that I can hear my baby. She gets drowned out so easily when the other two are around; except of course for when she screaches at the sound of shattering glass. She hasn't done that all week! It's been great getting to play with her uninterrupted. She has a sweet personality and loves books, music and singing. She sings all day long. I never noticed that before. I love the quiet.
