  Scream 4
Ok, so he's not just quiet all the time. Sometimes Hannes screams. Sometimes he stops the second Jessica or I pick him up, but other times... well, he just screams his tiny, little lungs out. He screams like it's the end of the world as he knows it. He screams and screams and screams to the point where I literally just want to lift him up and shake him a little bit.

And I hold him in front of my eyes and I know I can't shake him. First, I know he's not doing it on purpose. Also, I know I can't reason with him. I know there isn't a deal I could offer him that would make him happy. Can't bribe him, can't threaten him. Even though I know everything about his short life, there isn't a dirty fact that I could use to extort him. And let's face it, the little man's already sleeping (and waking up) with a bunch of elefants, and Moomins and monkeys. One horse head wouldn't shake him.

So what is there to do?

We walk a lot. We walk both around the apartment, holding Hannes in our arms, and around the block, with Hannes in his limo. We pack the family in our car and drive away, which is fine with me, 'cause I like to drive. We change the diapers. We take showers. We get desperate.

And when Hannes falls asleep, we rush to do all the things we wanted to do today.
