Alex has been developing a horrible scream. It has increased in use and he will show it off if he is mad, frustrated, upset, happy, excited! I have been trying various tactics to curb it but so far nothing is really working. The worst is when he is in the bath and the scream has a way of bouncing off the shower walls and multiplying in pitch!

Jordan can also scream but he usually uses other methods to get my attention. Jordan has a teenage sounding way of saying, "Ma" that always makes me smile.

The video just gives a small glimpse at what his scream is like. We were just sitting having dinner and I pulled the video out and starting filming. Warning: Turn down the volume.

In the second video Alex was crying because he had thrown his milk cup and wanted it back. Jordan was crying in sympathy as he often does. Jordan doesn't like others to be upset or angry.

Note: Alex can sign and let his needs be known in ways other than screaming but for the sake of the video I just handed him his milk to show how quickly he will calm.
