Lots of people around her \u2013 family, friends and relatives \u2013 remark how well-behaved yet lively she is, but there\u2019s also a down if not mildly annoying side too; Hannah\u2019s quite a chatterbox! I wonder if it\u2019s just a thing at for kids at their age, but she\u2019s rarely ever silent! When in the car, she\u2019ll be going off non-stop with things she sees, remembers last week, and things she\u2019d like; to the point that occasionally I\u2019d had to tell her to quiet down a bit especially when Ling and I are also conversing about serious topics. Our girl will talk to anyone she knows, though fortunately not (yet?) to strangers; and with family, one of her opening lines would routinely be \u201cPlease play with me!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe all this is a good thing. Because there\u2019s a good chance that 12 years from now, she wouldn\u2019t want to be talking to us. We\u2019d better enjoy and appreciate it when it lasts then first.
