Things you never would've imagined...

Everybody likes to listen to music when they have to drive somewhere. However, my choices are now limited to "The Bible Book Bop" or the new techno version of "The B-I-B-L-E." Oh, and sometimes I can talk him into a circle of life-esq "Jesus Loves Me." Not bad choices really but still....they get old. But when I think about it,I'm glad he's getting good messages poured into his head so early. Because he really does listen. I realized this when he started going around the house singing "b-i, b-i." And I realized that I really better be careful what I listen to when he's around because it's going in and sticking even if it isn't always coming out yet. Therefore we don't listen to Mitch Hedberg on the ipod when he's awake...I've been teaching him Bible verses too and it's really neat how much he likes them. I'll ask him if we should read his Bible verse and he gets a big grin and rushes around trying to find the book. He can do the sign for "Jesus" so we call it his "Jesus" book. Last night he was in the middle of a fit about something or another and I said "do you remember your Bible verse?" and he immediately stopped to listen. Maybe he's like Father Tim's dog in the Mitford books and is controlled by scripture (if you don't know what I'm talking about you really need to read those books.)Just one other thing I want to say, first of all, teaching him sign language has been great for us. Saves us a lot of frustration and I think him too. He's very communicative. My favorite word just might be "help;" he's just started to do it this last week or so, but it really saves us a lot of fits. He'll start fussing about something, and then stop and sign "help" so that we know he just needs help with something. Soooo nice. That's my two cents worth, things you never would've imagined yourself getting excited over before you have kids...
