more george-isms

A couple of weeks ago during the primary program at church George was pretty bummed that he couldn't participate (he isn't quite old enough) and kept asking me (really loudly) when it was going to be his turn. Paul was out of town and I was wrangling the boys by myself. Eventually, a nice lady sitting behind us invited George to come sit by her (way more than she bargained for) and as she was trying to get him to quiet down (he has no volume control) she pointed to a small girl on the stand who was playing the violin.

Nice lady sitting behind us: George, look at the violin.
George: Where's the fireman?

We have actually had his hearing tested several times because it is part of the assessment they do when you have a child with speech delay. So it isn't his hearing that is the problem.

Yes, love it. My all-time favorite George-ism. He really does have no volume control. I always whisper with him to try and make it a game but he only will say like 2 words in a whisper and then its back to full volume.

He says the cutest things!

Just think next year when he is in the primary program he will be the kid that grabs the mic and takes with his mouth on it so he is even louder and everyone will laugh and encourage even more loud talking. That is why you should be so glad he is cute otherwise he would not get away with it. (wink)

Gotta love the lady for trying!

I feel like I'm shushing Leah throughout Sacrament Meeting. She and George are about a week apart in age, so I guess we can chalk it up to their age. She doesn't have the hearing issue though. I don't know if it's cause for concern on your part, but it makes for some funny reading.

Do you check and see if there was a fireman? You never know.

George is a one of a kind. He sure does have personality. Be thankful that he is not lacking in that area..I have a couple of boys at my house that do not understand volume control either...one of course is deaf in one ear so I guess he has a good excuse, but I think he uses it to his advantage.

I remember when you used to say at FHE night, can we play pound of ears? We finally figured out that you were saying can we play pioneers?
I guess it is in his dna..

So the good news is he just doesn't listen to you. :)

Hmmm, I wonder where he gets his goofiness from. Reminds me of hearing you talk in your sleep when we were roommates. Pure nonsense.

Here's one for you I didn't tell you earlier. I was bringing George home from school and before going inside I told him, "George, remember we need to leave mom alone so she can work, she'll be down to pay after quite time." George of course asked, "Why does she need to work?" I said, "So she can make money." George responded with, "Why does she need to make honey???" lol, I couldn't stop laughing. The way he said it was so concerned and confused. lol
