She will be 4 in two weeks. Some days, from the moment she wakes until she falls asleep she verbalises her every thought at a pitch that I find hardly bearable. It's a jumble of random observations, questions that I don't understand (e.g. "Does Tommy Zoom like trouble?" and "How do you clear a traffic jam") and general shouting.
I know she is capable of concentrating because she can spend hours on the computer or colouring when the mood takes her. But on her noisy days, God help me I feel as though I have been assaulted by noise and interrogated by Paxman in a foreign language all day. She doesn't listen to me and just talks louder if I try to interrupt the flow. Combine this with a 7 month old who has just learned to shout and I am frazzled.
Does this sound familiar? I do wonder sometimes if she has some kind of attention deficit disorder.
