Pterodactyl Boy and Horse Lad

It's out of "chronological order" but here's a note on an odd little aspect of the kids that I'll likely forget about if not recorded.

When Daigoro was younger, between being newly born and about six or seven months, he'd often make a throat clearing sound that sounded for all the world like a horse whinnying. It's so distinctive a noise, we even recorded it for posterity. Funny thing was that he wouldn't necessarily do it to convey any particular state of mind. It was just a vocal tic, or so it seemed.

Kenshin, on the other hand, developed between three months and six months a piercing sharp cry we dubbed the "pterodactyl" shriek. It wasn't angry or sad, particularly, though there were times when it was used to express those emotions. It was mostly a catch-all noise, much like Daigoro's whinny. Little outbursts of baby shriek that, as one might guess from our name for them, sounded an awful lot like the sound effects typically used for pterosaur-type dinosaurs in B-movies and TV shows.

Not particularly insightful but fun to note, nonetheless.
