Everyone has their “quirks.”<\/p>\n

Mine is ear protection.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s because I’m a musician and hearing is everything to me.\u00a0 I wouldn’t be able to savor music if I couldn’t hear it.\u00a0 Or maybe it’s because I’m afraid of losing my hearing as I get older.\u00a0 Or maybe it’s because I already constantly have to ask people to repeat themselves.\u00a0 But no matter the reason, I’m very protective of my kids’ ears.<\/p>\n

So, we bought these.\u00a0 They’re awesome.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Actually we bought them for JD to wear for worship team rehearsals and church, since it’s quite loud and we’re scheduled to play\/sing almost every week.\u00a0 (which ironically enough I’ve forgotten to bring to church for JD to wear for the past 2 weeks… haha!)\u00a0 But Chloe has discovered that she just loves<\/span> them.\u00a0 She is generally afraid of anything that is loud, so this definitely curbs her fears.\u00a0 Plus she thinks it’s so funny to talk with them on and hear her voice… \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

And speaking of not liking loud things… Chloe completely melts down when JD starts crying.\u00a0 If he gets really worked up and starts wailing she’ll actually start crying herself and plug her ears and sometimes run away.\u00a0 It’s frustrating and amusing all at once.\u00a0 I’ve tried to explain to her that she can go to another room when he’s crying and that baby’s just like to cry–a lot.\u00a0 Yet she’s torn between her hatred of the loud sound and her love of JD and wanting to be by him all the time!\u00a0 Ah, the dilemma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
