i have a 4yr old.

he was a quiet child for the first three years of his life. Then something happened. He woke up one morning in June of 2003 and started talking, he hasn't stopped since. Every morning he crawls in to bed with me and I take a deep breath because I know what is coming......and then it starts, a little slow at first and then it builds...."muuummmm...." and then it's pedal to the metal all day, with hardly a breath in between. Today at the gas station I was pumping gas and I had rolled down his window so he wouldn't get hot....all I could hear was the chatter coming from the backseat, I couldn't understand a word he said, but that didn't deter him. I couldn't help but giggle as i thought "this kid never shuts up....."
