Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Jodi - totally!! LOL I think the only time it's quiet in my house is when I put ice cream or some other type of food on the table! My husband loves dinner time on the weekends - it's the only time he can hear a pin drop in this house. Oh my gosh - it's funny now - but, not when it's happeneing! - H > > > For those who may have children out there with this kind of > > behavior - > > > I'm not looking for things wrong with my son - trust me <grin> - > > but, > > > I notice Ian constantly repeats himself until you finally > > acknowledge > > > him.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Huh, I envy you! It is NEVER quite around here until the boys are asleep. And then sometimes talks in his sleep and wakes up gagging, or the pump beeps, or he is scared, or sick........! AAAAaaaaaaa!
