So Alive!

Sometimes there's a dull look to Dylan's face, like nothing in the world phases him. He can so be in his own world and we fight and scream to pull him out.

At other times, like this week, he has his glowing face on and everything seems silly and fun to him. Things seem to flow a little easier for him and he's high on life. I love weeks like this when he's so "alive" and fun to be around.


Like this Saturday morning, Eric and I were trying to sleep in a bit when we heard Dylan trying to figure out how to make his younger sister happy. She was fussy and wanting breakfast. We heard Dylan say, "Do you want some Blue Bell (ice cream) for breakfast?" Awwww, how thoughtful!

He has a favorite computer game that makes him giggle. He even grabbed my camera to take a photo of his "fish" game. (This game explains why I can't blog till midnight!)



These are the things that bring the biggest smile to his face right now: fish game on the computer, Lego cars, crayons and tinker toys. Then, repeat each one of these!

He's so "connected" right now with us and I wish I knew what makes him come out of his shell. Like tonight at dinner, he picked up one of his vitamins and pretended it was an animal from "Wonder Pets." He sang the WHOLE song with his little "animal" vitamin. If only I could keep him in this connected state all the time!
