Is That Loud?

Boys are noisier than girls; at least in our house.  So, I feel like I am constantly asking Buddy to tone down the volume.  Perhaps it's not just a feeling, as lately he seems to be trying to pin point exactly what "loud" is. He will make a loud sound by yelling or banging something together then turn to me and say "That loud?"  He will also ask this if he hears a loud noise from another source.  Does he try to be more quiet when he finds that indeed I find the sounds he makes to be loud, you ask.  Why of course not; he repeats them because he's a boy and LOUD is FUN!  ;)
