Pump up the volume!

Having never lived with a four year old before I have no idea whether Lucy's recent levels of volume are normal or not. Over the last few weeks she has become incredibly loud. Amy and I have been debating whether to get her ears checked out or not. Everything is said at such a volume that any louder she will wake the dead in the graveyard next door! If you ask her to quieten down, she holds it for about ten seconds and then finishes her sentence with a rising shout. If it is a genuine ailment, I am feeling that a trip to the doctors will not be the cure, maybe a gag or have a volume switch fitted so that I can simply turn her down. I like option 'B' personally.

Received the most amazing late Xmas pressie from Amy today - she has immortalised my blog in a hard back book. I am now a published author and the inane ramblings about family life I put down look fantastic on paper, gives me the impetuous to keep blogging and the lovely comments that people put in it about how they love to read about team Hammond were so pleasing and wonderful. People are now nagging me about when I will be doing another post, so today is for my fans and a simple crowd pleaser! Got to keep my fans happy.
