Children make a lot of sounds. A lot.  

They cry, scream, shout, and such. But I didn’t realize until we had Bo, how much they laugh, giggle, whisper, and yawp, too.  

I understand now why people love to have kids in a house. When kids are around a house has the sounds of life. Tables and chairs don’t make a peep. Children do. And those sounds indicate that there’s life there.  

I really love it when our son laughs, and he’s got a great laugh. But I don’t mind so much when he cries, either. Because the sounds of children make a house feel like a home.
