A few days ago, Justin lost his voice for about 24 hours. This quick bout with laryngitis was probably a side effect of the cold symptoms that he has been battling, in conjunction with some underlying asthmatic conditions. And like any good parent, we wanted him to make a speedy recovery... well... a good part of us did, anyway. The other part just couldn't help but to sit back... grin... and bask in this beautiful moment. Justin Alexander.... silenced. Even if only momentarily. Nothing short of a miracle. And certainly our guilty pleasure of the month. Because, good Lord, every other day of the year the boy is just... NONSTOP. Show me another kid that talks as much as he does, and I'll show you another set of parents in need of Granted, with all of his chatter comes a lot of laughs and cherishable moments for our family. Yet and still, one thing is for sure: In Justin's personal book of friends and foes, silence is clearly the enemy.
