Lions and Crickets

Lately, Troy has been doing this high-pitched screeching for no reason at all. He’s not upset. Many times, he does it while playing with his toys and generally happy. But for the most part, I’d say his demeanor is neutral. He just screeches.

I mentioned it to CC to see if Declan does it too, but he said he only screeches when he’s upset. He also suggested that maybe Troy is actually attempting to assert his dominance, like a young lion roaring. I told him that that might be, but it sounds more like a cricket’s chirp than a lion’s roar.
