Carl Speaks

Sometimes, kids say the darnedest things.  And then sometimes, you know exactly where those things come from.

In the evenings, after scripture study, Soren likes to make Sven "talk", sharing his thoughts on the day.  Soren uses the same gravelly voice that Scott does to put words in the baby's mouth.
