What do you do if you lose your voice?

[~Raven~]

ROFL Sarah speaking as someone who lost her voice only last week I guess it won't matter too much. My boys thought it was quite funny and I'm sure they played up a bit because I couldn't yell at them.
Anything that you need to get him to do "now" make sure he can see your face when you talk to him. I had to ask Mason to brush his teeth about 4 times in a row because he couldn't tell the urgency in my voice IYKWIM.
I'm sure you don't have to yell at Zander but be wary that it hurts if you do that . I was late to a lot of places last week...

I lost my voice when pg with Tom - Jack must have been about 16 or 17 months. It didn't take him long to realise that I couldn't tell him "no" so he deliberately touched things he wasn't supposed to. Just touch mind you, not do any real damage. Cheeky thing! I think he thought it was a game. But we did manage with me whispering to him and using actions. Kids are very perceptive, they know what you want from them even without much in the way of words.

I hope you feel better soon.

ETA The worst bit was when DH rang to see how we were managing - uh I have no voice, talking on the phone is a little difficult!
