Stephen is learning not to yell. He tends to ask for things by shouting "AAAAAH!" and then pointing at something when we look at it. It is frustrating for both Mama and Papa so Papa has taken steps to try to teach him to ask more quietly.
Papa: "Stephen, please talk more softly. Habla bajito. Say 'Aah' and we will give you what you need. Say 'Ah". (Waits)
Stephen: Aah!
Papa: Good job Stephen!
(Stephen smiles gleefully, Papa gives him whatever he was asking for)
(Note: We went through a similar training process with Sarah in that unfortunate period before Papa started maintaining this blog. [Aside: That training process continues]).
