I once knew a woman who gave birth to a son, the same day I gave birth to my daughter. At the age of 2, he had ALMOST develloped the skill of swallowing his food. Every time I saw them, I returned and enjoyed the fact that my kids were able to scream, shout, and run around. Count your blessings!
Flower girl and ring bearer were running around being loud at my son’s wedding reception after all of the required shenanigans and dinner. I loved it. They were having phun.
Outside, leave them alone as long as they aren’t killing each other. Inside, keep the volume to a low roar. At least, that was my parents philosophy. Nine p.m. was lights out for us kids. “Close your eyes, close your mouth, and go to sleep.”
Growing up, my best friend was afraid to come home to her mother with her clothes dirty. She was to be a proper young lady. We’re talking seven through twelve years old; she moved away at thirteen. We had a sandpile at our house and deep woods starting right at the back window with a creek to explore. My mom used to look at us coming in the door and say with a grin, You must have had FUN getting THAT dirty! She approved. I never did understand my friend’s mom.

Wouldn’t have to. It’s known as spontaneous regeneration.

I used to tell my nephews, “Okay, be noisy now!” as I was leaving their house.
And whenever anyone yelled at them to stop being noisy, I would add, “Yeah, stop having fun in there!”
I’ve also been know to kick a few cribs on my way out the door as well.
I’m an uncle. I get to leave. Mwah ha ha ha haaaaa!

I don’t get this. If kids can’t be noisy outdoors in a sandbox, where can they be?

It’s not just the noise, a local seismograph just reported a major earthquake

Its not the noise….it’s the pitch. That high key of EEEEEE!!!! Just slightly better than a military combat jet engine at full throttle.xD

Yeah, one of our neighbor’s has a screamer. If it was pitched a little higher, I wouldn’t be able to hear it.

The reason they’re outside is to be noisy.

I love the dust rising from the sandbox it looks like Sara laid down a nuclear bomb and they’re sitting in the aftermath.

Look up Robert Heinlein’s bunghole theory of child-raising.
