toddler oddities
I really thought the internet held all answers. I searched parenting websites, I googled and I yahooed. I even opened up my dog-eared copy of "What to Expect: the Toddler Years" and I could find no reference to this phenomena. Apparently, 3 year olds do NOT have inner monologues. Yep, you read it here first. Whatever thought, snippet of song or sound effect crosses their brain pan is immediately transmitted out their mouthes, at often ridiculous volumes. SHE was having an absolute blast, full of vim and vigor and giggles, but we still found ourselves doing an awful lot of shushing, and trying to model ye olde inside voice. I think she's been hiding a crack pipe from us, cause she was BOUNCING off the walls. Boing boing boing giggle bonk (cartoonish ooouch!) giggle.
Wow, this one goes to eleven!
