Shhhh....

This morning I was working on a couple household chores and needed to run upstairs. Owen was busy playing with his Noah's arc and animals in the kitchen. I hollered around the corner to him that I would be right back and that I was running upstairs real quick.

I hear him respond, "Shh, mommy."

So, I poked my head around the corner to receive a look similar to what I give him when I tell him Lilly is sleeping and we need to be quiet. He repeated, "Shhhh, mommy."

"Oh," I answered, "Are your animals sleeping?"

He whispered, "Yeah"

"Okay, I'll be quiet. I'll tiptoe upstairs so I don't wake them up."
