haha…where did that song come from?
I’m glad the week is over. First of all, yesterday morning brought this cutie to the table:
That’s his favorite breakfast…french toast. We heard him in the other room jabbering away. He does his best talking to himself and we listen to get a clue what’s on his mind. It used to really bother me, but his therapist told me this is fairly common and if we try to stop it, he will be very frustrated because it’s a way for him to express himself. It will sometimes go like this, “Hi —–” “Oh, hi!” “How are you?” “Fine.” “I want french toast for my birthday breakfast” “oh, cool!” So, I decided if he’s thinking about french toast, then his tummy must be better and french toast it is. He excitedly stood by me while I made it, picked his plate…and then sat there smiling and never ate a bite. By the way, he gave me the yellow plate and he apparently assumes it is his. (and it’s not his birthday yet, but that’s no reason to not have french toast if he wants it!)Â I knew he was better though, because soon I saw him like this…
And the smile just did it all. 
I am on the heel of the sock, but I left it at work. Here is something else on the needles though.
It might become a sweater.
I love seeing pictures posted on Saturdays for Saturday sky, so here are mine.
We woke up to cloudy, had rain here and there and I stood on the wet deck to take this at about 8:15 tonight. We’re watching the Mariner’s and they had to close the roof tonight.
Have a great weekend! We have the last bridal shower tomorrow afternoon.
OHHHHH…………….
I had one of the funniest emails I have had in ages the other day. Since she didn’t leave it in my comments but emailed me insted, I have to share it here because I still haven’t stopped laughing:
“BTW, I hate to be the one to point it out but I think you have a serious
problem. If you’re knitting so much that your boy’s getting yarn-boogers, I
think you need professional help! Try this: http://www.knittersanonymous.com

I’m so glad the little guy is feeling better and smiling again. And, I’d want the yellow plate, too….he’s very smart! ; )

Hilarious!
I’m glad he’s feeling better. I was needing a smile to make it through my day.

What a fun email! Oh, I’m so glad to hear that your little guy is feeling better – he’s got the cutest smile indeed, and his decision to get this gorgeous yellow plate has certainly been a very smart one! I love the beautiful sky pics that you posted too – thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your comment on my blog, and the congratulations! I love hearing about your son. I also love the yellow plate. When my 30 year old was young, we had a special plate that was designated the “happy plate.” We used it when there was something to celebrate or when someone needed a boost to their spirits, etc. Maybe the yellow plate is your son’s “happy plate!”
