 Posted: 02/18/03 - 09:04 Post subject: When you hear the boom. count the seconds because
the longer the seconds the louder the cry.
Ever notice that with kids when they fall. If they fall and are real quiet for some time then the wails get geometrically louder with the number of second.
Hannah the other day went boom, then for about 10 seconds she was quiet then baaaaaaaaaroooooooooooooooarrrrrrrrrrrrrr ....Wow good thing no one was sleeping.
Interesting things parenting tells you.
Side note when Abby falls, there is the same thing but, we cannot hear her cry she just stealthly cries (because of the trachetomy, it diverts the air out her neck instead of to vocal cords)

That is probably because Hannah, was so cold from being outside without a coat, she couldn't cry.

Better known as the child's internal help alarm--warning the parent to move faster! I have a booboo!

Michael seems to wait for a grown up to go "Ooooh!" or something like that before he starts wailing. If we don't say anything or giggle a little, he usually lets it go.

My 3-year old seems to have inherited his mother's talking in her sleep. When my wife is realllly tired, I can have full length, albeit irrational, conversations with her as she sleeps. Last night, my little guy woke me up yelling from his bedroom. Fully asleep, he was chewing out his brother for something I couldn't quite figure out. I consoled the poor little guy and got him back to neverland. Parenting is an adventure

Sounds like marriage is quite an adventure in your case as well!

My brother-in-law reports that my sister and niece have full out irrational conversations with each other in their sleep. "Sophie NO!" "Mama, I want candy" "Sophie, not on the couch!" "Mama, I want cake" 
I'm not real sure how he gets any sleep....

I have had conversations like that with Robin before. She has no recollection.
I know, when I want to get my Chevy Suburban I'll just ask her then

No recollection, exactly. She has no memory of saying any of it. Mostly it's mumble jumble stuff and usually whatever I say is wrong, so I usually just agree and see where it goes. Kinda like everyday life now that I think about it
