Whistle Blower

Gemma does not know how to whistle.  It is one of those things that is hard about being the youngest.  You see all the neat stuff your older siblings are doing and then want to do it all now.  Right now.

The big kids can whistle, although it isn't something they do ALL THE TIME as they did when they first learned.

I suspect the preschool Gemma attends a few days a week has a whistle they use on the playground.  I'm assuming they use it like a life guard does- when someone is doing something wrong, they blow their whistle.

Gemma has taken to "whistling" herself.  She makes her lips into an "O" shape and she says "hooo".  She sounds sort of like a cute owl.

There are multiple occasions Gemma will whistle:

1. When she hears anyone else whistling at all.
2. When someone else is doing something dangerous.  Examples of this are: William jumping off the couch, Amelia dangling herself off the top bunk of her bunk bed, and Daddy climbing a ladder.  Interestingly enough, the whistle does not apply to herself ever.  Not even when she herself is jumping off the bunk bed or climbing onto the counter top.
3. When she doesn't like something or when something hurts.  Most often this happens when I am (trying) to brush her hair in the morning.  Or evening.  Really anything happening with her hair.  I start brushing and she will starting hooting away.
