Audrey is a chatterbox. She talks from sun up to sun down. Even while I'm brushing her teeth. I am so, so very grateful for this but sometimes I need a bit of quiet. Or, as Grandma S would say with 5 of us at home, "I just want some peace and quiet!"

Yesterday at lunch, Audrey announced that she would like a bit of quiet. Unfortunately for her, Ian decided that it was his turn to talk so he got in trouble from his big sister for not following her lead.

Tonight at dinner, Eric asked for two minutes of silence. I relayed to Eric that Audrey had shared his sentiment yesterday, so I thought perhaps our little chatterbox could oblige. She wanted to chat though so it didn't work out so well. Eric made a second request, to which Audrey replied:

I don't talk all the time.

(Eric and I couldn't help but laugh.)

I mean, I don't talk when I'm sleeping.

Love our little chatterbox.
