C has been taking lessons from babylefty.

She started screeching like a pterodactyl yesterday. MAKE IT STOP.

It's so loud!
My sister keeps saying "once he can actually talk he is never going to shut up" uh. He already never shuts up.

[toratoratori]

We'll just get him and C together for play dates and let them screech at each other while we drink heavily in another room. Problem solved.

Dear God... I abhore the pterydactyl screech with such a passion that it's almost enough to make me not want kids. Why is this a necessary stage of development? I don't know if its a vocal stage or a "let's see how far we can push the adults and test if our cuteness will save us from being murdered" stage.

It really is awful. Even my 3 yo asks me to make it stop. And first thing in the morning is about the last thing I want to hear.

[mrslefty]

It's kind of funny how he just does it. Like he isn't screaming about anything. Just making as much noise as effing possible.
So playdate+wine+earplugs

It's totally a phase. Annoying, yes, but it will pass once they figure out how to control their voice. Right now they just love your reactions to their voice.

M loved to scream. At any given moment. We tried ignoring, shushing, whatever we could, but it didn't work. It just had to be something she worked through. LOL
