The little Choo-man is really cracking me up. Why does he display hidden abilities in his pursuit of things that are taboo? Case in point: We disconnected our television service because little man needs to do without for a while. We found it much easier to let him watch a show on a laptop, then we could take the laptop away. Well, just last week, I noticed that he no longer needed our help. I watched him navigate Bear's Windows computer. Choo opened up Internet Explorer, opened a new tab, selected YouTube from the choices, scrolled to Kung Fu Panda and watched it. What made this extraordinary was the fact that my right handed child was using his LEFT hand on the track pad because he was holding his juice with his right. His hand was steady and his movements direct. WOW!!
And then, earlier this week, he pulled a neurotypical child stunt. I told him it was not time for him to have the computer yet, he had to wait. He looked at me and started crying- tears and all. I consoled him, but also reiterated that he still was not getting the computer. He stopped crying and got mad. Wait- you were using EMOTIONS to play me? Gee, you must have some basic understanding of such things. Crocodile tears- who would have thought?
I just love it when the weather is beautiful outside. I love watching Dude and Choo jump into the pool and interact so lovingly. I think Dude feels comfortable with Choo in the pool, like they finally have common ground. I just love watching Choo's face light up when Dude comes in the backyard to go swimming with him. Of course, Bear and I are chopped liver, but we are so okay with that. ;)
Gotta go- the house is eerily quiet. What can they be up to now?????
