I can’t find Fuller’s mute button
I just realized that I apparently deleted an entire entry from yesterday. I didn’t ever publish it, didn’t save it in draft, but I know I wrote it.
It was all about Fuller and his lack of an indoor voice. He loves to hear himself talk, sing, yell, vocalize, and just make noise. Normally, it doesn’t bother me. But I have had to start cracking down on this behavior because there are places it bothers me.
Church is the first place. We had a really bad time in church in Sunday because Fuller just would not be quiet. And then there is the car where I can be driving along and suddenly a very loud “Haaaaah!” will make me jump.
I repeated the phrase “indoor voice” a lot yesterday and so far I seem to be doing it even more today, which is not what I wanted to do. But I know that like other things, this will click and suddenly he will be able to control his volume.
Or else the next kid better come with a mute button.
Maybe I could escape to Vegas hotels to get some quiet. But then again, Vegas isn’t very quiet either.
i’m pretty sure the mute button resembles a chocolate cookie.
or maybe a nap.
You so need to get with the times. It is no longer indoor voice you say, “use your small voice” or “use your six inch voice” I am not so sure about what constitutes a six inch voice but the kids get it.
Oh see, that won’t work for us ’cause we’re gonna train Fuller to use the metric system.
Okay then, “use your 10 cm voice please”
It took Noah a very long time to learn volume control. So much so that I had his hearing checked LOL
He had two volumes, very very loud, and so soft no one could hear him.
I hope Fuller finds his inside voice soon
