The Slurp

Weston runs constantly from morning until night. At night, he runs to his bed and falls asleep in about 3 seconds.

He is really good at making games. He is very creative and switches from robot to zorro to doctor ambulance all day long. While he runs he also makes shooting, swooping, and flying sound effects. He has just begun coupling this with force jumps and he is very cute.

There is only one problem… we have wood floors under all the carpet and padding and it is LOUD. Then there is “The Slurp.” The Slurp is one of his sound effects. It sounds something like, “pwew, pew, pew, sucky slurpy pwew, kew kew, sucky slurpy pwew.” Also there is a constant, “bang bang, bang,” of his little feet on the floor. Then there are the feet of Sierra which have a different cadence and her regular squealing and crying in frustration when she can’t keep up or is inadvertently mowed down by a force jump. But it is The Slurp that throws me over the edge.

Adding The Slurp to the cacophony of other noises and by 6:30pm I am READY FOR BED! (it is 6:39!)
