The miracles are there if we are watching.
I got a miracle. My guy is not non verbal, but the majority of his language is still focused around communicating his wants and needs and repeating over and over the names of things he loves (specifically video’s and animals). His interest are very narrow and it’s hard to expand them.
Tonight I was putting him to bed and I turned on the American Music Awards, very quietly because I wanted to watch. A few minutes into putting him to sleep I turned the volume way down, almost silent, and he jumped up and said “No, mommy volume up”. The song playing was a country tune by Rascal Flats. I used the opening to ask if he wanted TV or did he want to hear the song? He replied “I want to hear the song”. Oh my gosh my kid likes the Rascal Flats and country music! All I can say is Yahoo!!!!!!!!! and I'll be getting some more Rascal Flats music in the morning :-)
Note to myself and others…
You never know when our kids will share, so keep listening
Keep exposing them to what we get exposed to, and see what catches on...don't think we know what our guys will like. Let them decide.
