Our little guy

Ty's personality is really shining full force now. He's such a funny little guy. We are AMAZED at how much he understands. Even with his speech problems he usually can get his point across. He's learned to say "Why?" and "Why Mommy?"

Ty and Mia were playing with a Christmas advent calendar that makes a manger scene once it's all put together. I told them they could get the first two ornaments out and hang them up. So they pulled out Mary and a sheep. We've been trying to explain everything about Christmas to him in basic terms. I told him this lady's name is Mary and she was Jesus's mother.

A little later everyone was doing something else but Ty was still playing with the calendar. And I heard him saying something over and over. I went to see what it was and he had hung the sheep next Mary and he was saying "Mary had a little lamb, Mary had a little lamb"

It was so sweet and I was so proud he had put that together. He knows the song because it's the first song Zane learned on his trombone this year. We sing it often around here.

When Mia came in Ty told her too, "Mary had a little lamb" She was so upset and said, "NO Mommy No" I said yes Mia look he hung the sheep by Mary get it? She said "No Mommy, Mary didn't have a little lamb, she had a little Jesus"
