Isn't it funny. I find it easier to listen to DD. I think it's because she talks with me and not at me. And then my brain goes "Oh well it's probably your fault you probably talk at him!" Neurotic much?

I have decided to make a conscious effort. And I've told them both if they think I'm not listening or didn't hear them properly to tell me.

And maybe asking questions will help DS become a better story teller lol. It's probably an age thing.

I just don't want to be seen as doing "Yes dear" because that used to annoy the crap out of me when I was a kid. And I also don't want him to stop talking because he feels I don't listen.
