The empty container

I was nursing Lucas tonight just prior to putting him to bed while Lee was with Nathan accross the hall in our room. Through the monitor I asked Lee to have Nathan shut their door. They can get a little rowdy reading books believe it or not. After a few minutes I heard Nathan leave the room shutting the door behind him and then he came in to Lucas' room. He gave me a cute grin then sighed a big heavy sigh and said, "Mommy I just want you to brush my teeth." I quickly replied, "Yes dear, when I'm done I'll be there now go back with Daddy please" in an effort to keep things short and sweet. He left just as he had come and I began to smile as I thought about my effort to contain the noise. You see, the noise was contained while he was in the container (the closed room), but he left the container and even shut the container. It's funny to me that he truly has no idea that the door was shut to keep him and his noise contained. The container can only contain the noise if the noise maker stays in the container! lol!
