I noticed something today that sparked my curiosity. The past week or so I have kept the tv music channels on during the day...to keep myself from going completely loco, right? Today was one of those rare days where J.T. was home all day with me and the baby and around mid-morning I suggested coloring. Usually I cannot get him to sit long enough to color a circle; he shows no motivation, no excitement for it, nada. But today, with the sounds of Xanadu, Fiddler & Phantom playing in the background he sat and colored...and colored...and colored; thoroughly enjoying himself, staying in the lines, and didnt ask for the stickers once. (Something he usually does to get away from holding a crayon) He continued this way for close to 40 minutes, which in and of itself is purely amazing that a 4 year old boy sat still for that long on a rainy day...can I get an Amen?
It was Fiddler, it's mesmerizing! To Life, Amen!!
ReplyDeleteI cant remember which song it was, but they were singing some of the more traditional words, and he looked at me and laughed. He thought it was quite funny.
