Today I woke up to my son roaring. We still have a monitor, even though he's nearly two. Not because we're overly concerned, but because of two reasons: 1.) He's downstairs and we're not. 2.) He sleeps through the night so if he's crying, something is wrong. It's worked out well. He's the best sleeper we've had and he makes an excellent alarm clock as he consistently wakes up and fusses at 7 am.
Usually, the Bean will cry out and then chatter to himself for awhile. If you're desperate to sleep in, sometimes he'll stay quiet until after 8. This morning, he thought he'd try something different.
A little background: poor little guy had been sick for a few days (fever, nasty poop, and one throw-up). We hear a noise this morning that sounds like, "grrr". Our first thought is, is he sick? Then it happens again, very clearly, "grrrrr". When we get downstairs to his room, he does it again as a greeting. That's right, he's roaring quietly. Not crying, not yelling, but "grrrr"ing.
