I just had a glimpse of what Paolo dreams of - he actually told me one of his dreams! For a mom who had nagging doubts of Paolo ever being able to tell me stories about what he did at school or daycare - my favorite little autistic boy has come a long way :) Since his Lolo and Lola came, he's improved quite a lot in the extemporaneous self-expression field, making me have a glimpse of his brilliant, creative young mind.
Here's how his dream goes: He'll eat a planet, it's not big, it's small - small enough to fit in his tummy. It's a small purple planet, with spots and a chimmney that spews out sprinkles. Then, he eats a little red planet and a blue one. His tummy gurgles. He goes to the potty to poop . As reward, Lola will give him chocolate kisses. The End.
If there was an award for Most Creative Extemporaneous Story Telling of a Dream - he'd win in for sure. It was short, sweet, highly descriptive and very original. Five Stars...and hugs and kisses from Mommy. I figured he was telling me stories to keep stalling bedtime too. It actually worked - he got a 30 minute bedtime extension. I admit, he pulled a fast one over me, but it was all good. Tricky little genius. But now that I've got him talking, I think I better watch out for my little cutie-pie from being a smartmouth. Just a while ago, he passed by a lady who didn't greet him back a 'Hello' after his two animated 'Hi's'. He promptly concluded by saying "She doesn't have a brain" within earshot, the lady finally answering back a delayed 'Hello'. In the end, he got what he wanted - which makes me think...is he really austistic or is this one big intricately woven prank he's pulling over us?
Since I always post songs here now, and it's my Feist themed weekend - here's a remix of Mushaboom by my son's favorite band The Postal Service....
