Primal Scream

One of Caleb’s favorite activities is to puff out his chest with a big intake of air and then let it all out with a powerfully joyful scream. He does this on the changing table, in the bath, while kicking a ball around the living room. Sometimes I join in the fun in a kind of call-and-response yelling match (Caleb: “ahhh!” Me: “Oh yea? Ahhh!” Caleb: AHHH!!!”), before I remind myself that we have both up and downstairs neighbors who might not appreciate our escalating scream contest.
