Voices

"Nikela, Tina's here!" I holler up the stairs above the incessant beeping of the toy hummer as it backs up.

No response. I try again. No response.

Then I pause, giving her the opportunity to dash downstairs in the event that I didn't hear her.

Chayse bops down the stairs. Grins at Tina, and in a subdued little girl voice, states amidst the chaos, "Tina is here Nikela." Then she hugs her.

"Oooooh, Tina's here!" Nikela squeals with delight and scrambles past the toys and down the stairs.
