There is a 12 year age gap between my girls. T1 is in her first semester of college and she is a lot like me. We like to wake up quiet, we're very comfortable with our own company, we enjoy companionable silence when we hang out together.
T2 is a entirely different person. She is loud. She is boisterous. She does not have an Indoor Voice. She is in 1st grade.
We have looked for it. I thought she would have been born with it. I've tried bribing her to come up with one. I've even tried using poor health to drum up a sympathetic Indoor Voice ("Baby girl Mommy has a crushing headache can you please see if there's an Indoor Voice that you can use?")
Nope. Nothing.
T2 is a product of Montessori preschool and fiercely independent. You can call her highly spirited. T2 wakes up ready to go and ready to talk about anything. I love her so much that it breaks my heart.
I just wish we could find, or buy, or grow, or even download an Indoor Voice for her.
