Hmmmmm

Kimmie has always been our quiet child. Being non-verbal, she has not typically made much noise.

Lately, however, she has had her "hmmmmmmmm" going. We sometimes say she has her "motor" running. It is a noise she makes in her throat. Sometimes she can get quite loud.

She can be watching a movie and start "hmmmmmmm"ing. She will get louder and louder as she gets excited about the movie. The competing noise from the movie and the noise of her "hmmmm"ing can become overwhelming.

We often ask her to be quiet and she will shake her head "yes." But when she goes back to what she was doing the "hmmmmm"ing starts up again. It's like she doesn't know what makes it or how to turn it off.

One of the places where she will make this noise is church. No matter how many times I ask her to be quiet, and she agrees, she just can't seem to stop.

She sounds happy when she makes this noise.

What to do, what to do, hmmmm.
