Shrieks and Why

Shrieks are not just for Halloween in this house. Maddie, in the last couple of weeks, has started screaming this high pitch, ear piercing scream (literally feels like my ears are going to bleed).  It is terrible.  She thinks it is funny.  Even Nate is complaining that his ears hurt.  Taking suggestions on how to handle this lovely problem.

She loves reading and her favorite book is a baby colors book.  We read it several times every single day.  She definitely has a love for books, enjoying other books and actually sitting through some of the bigger kid books.  She loves to point at the pictures and I have to say what each one is (I know, Grandma, ending with a preposition!). 

What I hear from Nate all day is 'Mama', 'look', and 'why'.  All day.  And his latest thing is thinking that everything on the ground is poop.  "Mama, look, poop, yucky!"  Whether it's a leaf or rock or shoe, doesn't matter, it's poop. Everything is poop.  Baby pooped. Sammy pooped. Mommy pooped. You would think with that kind of fascination with poop he'd want to do it on the potty. Ha, yeah right!

He's also been lining EVERYTHING up to make it a train (choo choo).  His cars, books, blocks, fruit snacks, anything lined up is now a choo choo.  Loves the things. He has also become a big fan of pants with pockets.  If his pants have pockets, something is going in them.  I have found crayons, rocks, fruit snacks, and a penny so far.  It's always fun to do laundry! :)
