Keiki, eating cheese puffs & chilling on the sofa with his bestie, Telstar.
I've been at home with the toddler for the past couple of days. He went in to nursery on Monday morning and within two hours, he'd brought up his breakfast onto the book he'd been reading. (He held out the book to his key worker and plaintively told her, "Dirty.")
Today he was obviously feeling much better, after 24 hours spent drinking milk and fruit puree and lying on top of Mummy. So he "helped" me while I dialed in to a telecon this afternoon. For twenty minutes he behaved beautifully, and then just as things were wrapping up, he started pounding the keyboard and managed to hit the mute button. Of course. My fellow participants were treated to ten seconds of me hissing, "No, Keiki, no, paws off," while he screamed "HAAAYYYYYY" randomly and joyfully at the top of his lungs, until I wrestled him to the floor, reached up and jabbed the mute button again.
If you need me, I'll be in the corner, scraping together the shreds of my dignity.

LOL at Keiki's "dirty" comment. He wasn't lying, though! Hahahaha. Poor thing.
Clearly Keiki wanted to socialize with your coworkers . . . maybe he should have waited until a Take Your Child to Work Day (if you have something like that in Britain, and if the nature of your work would allow that). LOL.

There is a designated Take Your Child to Work Day, but I was working from home that day, so I didn't have much choice!

Keiki decided to introduce himself to your coworkers early! :P

Thank you for sharing, this brought a big smile to my face, even if you lost your dignity in the process.
I remember when I was on a telecon taking a rare day at home early. I decided to take a bath and listen to the telecon. I drew the bath before I dialed in, walked into the bathroom, turned on the phone and called in, got in the tub, realized the mute button wasn't pressed, went to push the mute button...and dropped the cordless handset right into the tub.
I was later told by colleagues they heard "Oh, shit! " and had to tell them that I dropped the phone in the kitchen sink. Yeah, right.

I am in awe. I don't think I'd have the nerve even to sit in on a telecon where I knew I didn't have to unmute from the bath. It would be glorious, though, especially when I have to dial in at 7 PM or later...
