Oh the screaming…

By looking at this picture you would never know the power this kid punches when he screams.  I went into small detail about the screaming the child can get to, but unless you have actually HEARD the scream, you have no idea.
You think your child can scream.  You THINK your child can scream.  I’m sorry internet, your kid can ‘cry’ and ‘get upset’ and probably raise his or her ‘cry’ to a level that you think would shatter glass…but this kid…SCREAMS BLOODY MURDER.

The scream doesn’t start off a mellow whine.  Nope, he goes straight to the ear piercing squeal and then it holds long enough to sound like he is being babysat by Edward Sissorhands.
Being the wife of Shaun-of-the-Dead-Baland, I have seen horror movies. This kid screams louder than all the women being attacked in the shower with a knife.

Now if you acknowledge the screaming by picking him up then that reinforces the habit of him screaming like that.  I have to listen to him scream as if he just realized that life does NOT revolve around him.  The tears that come with this terror scream are real too. POURING from his eyes.
An innocent bystander to all of this screaming would think I am thee worst person that ever lived.  How can the woman not just stop and pick up the poor child that is CLEARLY TERRIFIED OF SOMETHING!

He’s not terrified of anything.  The kid is a drama king. As soon as you pick him up, he smiles at you and makes a cute, bubbly sound and wipes his snotty nose and tear stained face all over you shoulder.  It’s endearing.

Today is a screaming day.  He knows I am feeling better and he is giving it to me at full force.  I am having to battle him on EVERYTHING.

It’s been a long time since I have had to take care of a baby. It’s been NEVER since I have dealt with a child that screams like this.

I’ve also never had a boy.

Is his Pee-Pee falling off and that is why he’s screaming like that?  That is the only logical reason any boy should scream that loud.
