Six Months Later, Silence Sounds Different
Six months later, our house is still loud in the ways babies make houses loud.
But the silence feels different now.
Keane volunteers twice a week at a sensory play center.
It’s not glamorous.
It’s textured mats, soft lighting, predictable routines, kids who need calm adults.
In other words: a place where Keane makes sense.
Owen adores him.
He lights up when Keane walks into the room.
He relaxes when he hears that familiar humming.
And Owen’s first word wasn’t “Mama.”
