My Three Year Old Has NO Inner Monologue

Little Nut Nut talks all day long, every little thought that pops into his head, comes right out of his mouth. He wanders around the house all day long talking talking talking. About everything.

One of his conversations he just had with the entire house went something like this – Also, keep in mind that he never stops moving either!
