To Talk or Not To Talk...

The other night, my husband and I were awaken by the howling of one of the babies. We let him cry for awhile to see if he would go back to sleep. (How his twin and the rest of the kids for that matter could sleep with him screaming is a mystery to me!) Anyhow, the end to the abrupt crying didn't seem to have an end in sight. Btw, this was abnormal for him. So, my husband went in to check on him...the crying persisted. So, he took him into the playroom and held him for awhile before returning him back to his crib to sleep soundly. So, all this kind of left me thinking..."It would be so much easier if he could just talk and tell me why he was crying." He didn't have a fever. Did he had a bad dream? Was he hungry? Did he just want to be held? Did his ear hurt? Was he upset that Daddy had taken his LOUD musical toy out of his crib while he was asleep? Who knows...but surely it would be easier if he could talk. But, then I starting thinking some more. I have three older kids who talk non-stop. Many times I find myself wishing that they wouldn't talk so much. So, there lies my dilemma...to talk or not to talk...
