LOUD

Children can be so loud! I know this is an obvious statement but I am really struggling with Chloe's loudness at the moment! To the point where I am wondering if it normal and if we should get her hearing tested. She does have recurring ear infections so I suppose it is possible her hearing has been affected. What do you think?

When she was a baby it was funny when she made loud noises. Now Livia is finding her voice, we often praise her for babbling and squealing. But with Chloe at age 3, it is so much harder to accept! She will shout when she's playing make-believe games, scream when she's frustrated, shout to get our attention, sing at the top her lungs etc.

I don't want to be a spoilsport or not allow Chloe to be a child but I can't take the noise all of the time! I do sometimes get comments about how loud she is so perhaps I am justified in wondering if it is normal? I think I will book a dr's appointment just to get it checked out so we know.

It's funny how children love to make noise. Livia loves to find something which she can happily bang on our wooden floor. She went through a stage a couple of weeks ago where she would scream (in a happy way) all the time. It got a few strange looks when out shopping!

Maybe I'm just destined I have noisy children! I think it comes from having a noisy husband ;)

Praying for wisdom for when to challenge the loudness and when to let it go. And for grace to accept my children as they are.
