La-La-La-La-La!

My one year old daughter is a screamer. During dinner, she flavors the dining experience with “AHHHHS!”, some “Grrrrrrrrrs”, a few “ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-yas!!”, a handful of “da-da-da-da-das” and the occasional “oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-OH!!”

“It’s a stage,” hubby says.

Is it? I do hope so.

I envision prom dates gone bad…...

“Gimme more fries! Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!”

graduation dinners gone awry…..

“Ahhhhh! Goodbye Central High! GRRRRR!”

and wedding receptions hitting the fan.

“I’d like to thank my parents for their never ending love and support. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Yaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

On a lighter note, there could be some benefits.

Childbirth will be a breeze.

“Push and breathe.”

“ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!”

My retirement party should be interesting.

“Let’s toast to my mother. Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-OOH!”

Business dinners will have a twist.

“And, further, I propose to decrease our monthly spending by …Da-da-da-da-la-la-la-la-LA-LA!!”

Oh, well. At least she inherited my charm and good looks. Kinda makes up for the gaps.

LOL! Sounds like your daughter is similar to mine.... she began verbalizing (not with actual words at first, of course) as a young babe and hasn't stopped since!!

Enjoy your chatterbox! :)

Hhhmmm...well, my oldest is 7, and she still screams and makes the weirdest grunts that she passes off as "using her words." I think we are stuck with it!

It only comes back around when you have children of your own. :)

LOL!!! My two year old roars as much as he talks. Here's hoping he grows out of it!

This is so funny. I'm always worried that my daughter isn't going to grow out of the "habits" that she's currently got...ones that wouldn't look so good when she's older. You could always blame it on Tourette Syndrom...

Maybe she could have a career as a roller coaster model. Having the screaming down is the bulk of the qualifications.
