at "on the phone", 5inthebed!

whenever i'm giving ds into trouble, he says "what you talking about?" and sounds so like the wee guy from Diff'rent Strokes that it's difficult not to laugh.

he loves changing the lyrics of songs and the other day it was "Old Macdonald had a farm", but with all the family names instead of animals. With his own name he sang "with a talk talk here and a talk talk there..."
but with his dad's he sang, "with a lube lube here and a lube lube there" [hmmm] no idea where he got that from!!!

that is brilliant!!!

DS is like this, very imaginative, very literal. We watched a cartoon about a termite today and he asked why the termite was licking his lips when he looked at a wooden house. And I said "he's excited about eating it, to him it looks tasty. you'd lick your lips if you saw something you wanted to eat too!" and he said "NOT WOOD" DH and I laughed so hard.

My DS is 5 (ASD dx aged 3) and had never used imaginary play until about a year or so ago when he started pretending to clear up something off the floor & was saying "that's naughty, don't poo/wee/sick on the floor" and also "eat your dinner". When I asked him who he was talking to, he said "Lizard". He could tell me where this imaginary lizard was sitting, what colour it was and even it's name !!!
He still occasionally talks to his lizard now. grin

The other week we were in a hurry to collect ds1 from school. Ds2 suddenly stopped and refused to move. I told him to hurry up, and he replied, with one hand in the air and the other to his ear (spelling as he said it) "two mimits, I'n on a phone" grin

. Cheeky monkey.
