What's That Noise?!

My son is extremely talented in that he can hear a sound a few times, and mimic it almost exactly. This can be very entertaining at times, but that is not always the case. Don't get me wrong, I love for my son to talk to me in his little gibberish that he does, but when he is chasing me around the house, making this shrill high pitch scream, I start to go a little crazy. I literally check my ears to make sure they aren't bleeding from the noise. I don't know where he has picked up this sound from, but this has to stop! 

Obviously, I keep in mind that he is 15 months old (going on 2), and that he will be throwing tantrums. The most frustrating thing for a toddler, is that they can't communicate what they are trying to tell you, so they get mad and have a fit. I get that! But, when you are home with your child all day, and they are making this ear piercing shriek because you told them no, it can be very frustrating for the parents too. I am having a hard time, because I know that he is trying so hard to tell me exactly what he wants, but just can't get it out. The sign language that I have taught him is coming in handy. He can say please, all done, eat, milk and he tells me yes and no when I ask him something. But in his little mind there is so much more that he wants to tell me, but I just don't get it.

We have gone through a phase like this one before, where he just follows me around all day whining, and I am hoping this round passes quickly. Other than the awesome noise that he has been making all the time, he is doing fantastic!! Christian is so stinking smart!! He is becoming an expert climber. He can get on and off the couch with ease, tries to climb the gate to get into the office, and has recently figured out that he can get on top of the coffee table then stands up on it and claps for himself with pride! Christian is already showing signs that he will be ready to start potty training soon. He does his business, looks at me and says "shoo-e, all done!" then runs to his bedroom to get changed! That is amazing! He literally RUNS around the house chasing the dog, and kicks his soccer ball all over the place running after it to kick it again, and so many other wonderful new things. He is talented for sure! I'm so blessed to be home with him to see all the amazing things that he is learning everyday, and I remind myself of that every time I start to get frustrated with his noises. A mother's love will get her through any tough day her child can throw at her.

Many Blessings,
