Say what, say what?

I worry about Kayden because I don't know if he can't hear me or he chooses not to listen. I can talk and talk to him and he ignores me. Do I get his ears checked? Does he have a hearing problem? So, I try little things to see if I do need to take him in. Can he hear? Yes! Does he tune me out? Yes! What a little stinker. I was talking to Sara and Kayden kept staring at her. We kept trying to talk to him but he just stared at Sara. Right next to his ear I said, "Kayden" and he just stared at Sara. I said "Kayden" a little louder and he just kept staring at Sara. Finally I said, "Kayden look at mommy" kind of loud and rough and he looked at me and smiled like, "I heard you, I chose to ignore you." What a stinker. So the end results, he is a typical male who chooses to respond when he is good and ready. My goal is to nip this in the bud now because he will not be a typical guy. He WILL learn to listen to others especially his wife in the future!
