Interesting and curious

[Triggles]

It's always interesting to see what new and curious developments have shown up in our DCs. Well, at least it is to me.

Recently, DS2 has decided he loves singing - and is singing more and more. He practically sings himself to sleep. So we're going to start teaching him Christmas songs now so he's ready by the end of November.

And we had an odd conversation the other day. He told me Lightning Mcqueen wasn't real. So following along that, we asked what about Mickey Mouse? Handy Manny? "They're real." Okay. One step at a time.

DS things the singular of rice is rye.

Which for a child with ASD is bloody brilliant as it shows he can generalise as absolutely nobody will have taught him that.

Still wrong though.

We go to "Old Macdonalds" for a Happy Meal.

Just asked DS2 what he thinks about Father Christmas, now he's 12. He said, 'Will I still get presents if I don't believe in him?'

Dh has just walked in and got told by DS that we had Shepherds Pie and custard for afters He will insist on calling them that instead of mince.

Our DCs on this board are brilliant. I love the funny things they come up with.

DS2 tonight has :

• told DH that he needs to go somewhere else to cough as he's too noisy
• asked us if we could tell his Flicker (Handy Manny) torch that it's naughty to smack as it was smacking him
• been playing with his new electronic drumsticks and trying to get me to copy the rhythms he is playing
