The voice of an angel

No, not Charlotte Church. For several days now Sujin has been discovering her voice. At first it was just gurgles and blowing raspberries. Then came the unintelligible sentences with accompanying facial expressions and, just incase you were in any doubt, a rising inflection to underscore the fact that it was a question. Well today we added volume to the mix. We were out walking, well I was doing the walking, and SJ was in her push chair talking. As we entered the shopping complex she quietened momentarily, the ambient noise in the mall quite drowning her 'singing.' It was then she discovered the volume control and, raising her voice several decibels, she began competing. Singing at the top of her little voice and smiling.

A passing mother looked in at her, smiled at me and said," Yi know, yi cant wait for them to start talking, then as soon as they do, you spend the rest of your life trying to keep them quiet." Oh well, win some lose some.
