Taming the "monster"

One of my earliest blogs I talked about our vacuum and how I would fondly call it “the monster”.  I told you how Luke used to scream every time I ran the thing, and how when he finally started crawling he stopped screaming and started chasing the vacuum all over the house.

Now our Baby girl is also used to it, but instead of chasing it she “runs” or crawls away from it.  She sees it coming and takes off like it is trying to attack her or something.  Its pretty funny to watch.

Luke on the other hand still will crawl after it, but only for a little while.  After the initial crawling, I think he decides he can “tame this monster”.  He does this by going for the cord.  Luke will get a hold of the cord and lift it up and down and around….it almost looks like he is trying his hand at jump roping or something.  What usually ends up happening is that eventually the cord will come unplugged or he will pull hard enough the cord will retract itself thereby unplugging from the wall. 

The silly man makes it almost impossible to vacuum anymore.  When I told my husband about this he just laughed.  But, over the weekend Luke did this to daddy when he was trying to use the vacuum to clean up the kitchen floor.  The cord came unplugged 4 times while daddy tried to just vacuum.  My husband now has a better appreciation for how hard it is to vacuum around this house.
