Being heard!

Last week, Buzz had a sleepover at a friend's house, and we had the younger two at home. Beav slept in the next morning, but Bear was up at the usual time. Padding around behind me, Bear talked about what he dreamed about the night before, what he wanted for Christmas, what he'd be doing for Thanksgiving, and what he wanted for breakfast. The hubbie got up for work as usual and ate breakfast with him, and remarked about how chatty Bear was. "I suppose he just finally had a moment to be heard without any interruption," he said. And being heard without having to yell, I added. Sometimes that's all anyone needs.
