"The Sound of Music", have you heard of it?

This is a misleading title, i should name it "The sound of Crying".Every parents go through the wonderful sound of crying. I have learnt the art of blocking, so writing this blog will be interesting.

It all started when it was time for the masters' nap. Master 2 was getting a little cranky, since he woke up late today, nap time was upside down for him. So i took master 2 and his brother to their napping room, and master 2 started crying away. I didnt want to give in to breastfeeding him( thats the only way for him to doze to zzz land), so i left him to cry. It was then i got inspired to write. I listen to him cried. He had so many variations of sound in his music, at least 8 to 9.

1) engine of the car unable to start
2)scream
3) grizzling like a bear
4) shriek
5)wailing
6)up n down intonation
7)puppy crying
8)bee gee "ah a ah ah staying alive" tone
9)cub roaring

after 20 minutes of crying, master 2 decided to sit up, then kneel down, then decided to do the head down bum in the air pose, and doing this crying. Then all of a sudden, the thunder went off.. master 2 paused to ponder, then he continued crying. He did this for a couple of time before i decided that i had enough...I surrender. All theses while, master 1 was next to me snoring, he too learnt the art of blocking out. The addiction kept master 2 quiet. You could hear master 2 sucking away and yet, trying to control his after effect of crying too much, like a sound of a pig snorting, and sound of shivering. Well, now i have the sound of silent, in about 30 minutes time, i will be able to hear the sound of master 2's crying.Oh no, the silent has been broken, master 1 is up, just as master 2 is down.
