My loud boy

Many people I know or even strangers have commented to me about Caleb that he seems like a very gentle boy. Honestly speaking, he is but of course, the boyish nature comes out and he will start making gun noises and acting really crazy- jumping and running up and down.

He is a very loud boy. His normal voice would be our idea of shouting and I have lost count how many times I have asked him to keep quiet- at home and in public.

So bringing him to the library isn't an ideal place to bring him to but as a stubborn girl who doesn't like anything to hold me back from doing what is right, I just brought both my children to the library on last Sunday evening to borrow some books.

At Compass Point, the library was newly renovated and the design of the place was nice with many cool seats built into the book shelves. However, with this new layout and design, I pity the librarians as it can be quite messy as to where the books go as there's just so many sections now in the book shelves that it can be quite messy and disorientated.

In the library, Caleb was talking and he was loud as usual. He definitely makes his presence known and I kept having to pull him aside to warn him to be quiet and not walk around so much.

My ex-colleagues told me that its because when I had Caleb in my uterus, I was probably shouting at my students and also talking loudly. Haha.. No wonder Danielle is not very loud since she is a December baby- during the school holidays ;)

Anyway, I hope that his loudness can be turned into something useful and positive because for now, I can't see the light at the end of this long tunnel and I have been angry with him for being so loud and obnoxious at times.
