Noise Pollution

Only when you have a baby do you realize how loud the world is around you. We live on a pretty busy street traffic wise. Not to mention we hear the waves crashing into the shore in every room of our house. Add those noises plus the yappy dogs next door and the guy who drives around with a speaker strapped to the hood of his car and you have one loud environment. 

You also notice every floor board that creaks. Every knuckle that's cracked. Every cough, sneeze and fart. Each time a loud noise occurs my eyes dart immediately to the sleeping baby. More time than not she hears it and her cute little eyes pop open and look around to see what the commotion is. Then the process of getting her back to sleep starts all over.

I dream of sitting in my living room with a bb gun and a bag of golf balls to pelt anyone not meeting my noise tolerance. The first to go down will be the dogs next door. They don't bark at night but keep Belle up when she is trying to nap. Sorry to say but the bread guy with the clown horn on his bike has to be next. Then, random guy riding is horse drawn carriage down the street in the middle of the night. Can't forget about speaker guy... I might have to use a real gun with him. 

I just hope that she eventually gets used to all these noises and sleeps like a champ down the road. If all the work we are putting into it now says anything she will be able to sleep through the next world war.

Luckily as I write this she is sleeping and I am on high alert for loud noises. Saturdays are usually pretty rough with all the traffic heading to the beach. Wish us luck!

Tchau,
