Jonathan really impressed me today. Only perhaps because he is doing certain things that he had not done before and that seem quite innovative. He is still having trouble verbalizing things, but he is now daring do things he wants.
The biggest thing that impressed me what his ability to search in YouTube and find what we wants. Yesterday he wanted to find a couple of videos based on his favorite kiddy books. But we could not find them. Today, after he arrived from the HBOT, he sat in front of the PC (I gave him a 45 minute limit, which I then forgot to follow up on) and a few minutes later he called me up "mommy, come. Look. I found it. I found Goodnight Moon". I came down and dropped my mouth. He did. I searched for it yesterday under several criteria and didn't get to it. Today, he simply searched for "goodnightmoon" and there it was. And like that, he is now finding all kind of kiddy videos. It is scary. I am not sure how to restrict his access from YouTube because there are really gross things out there. What a dilemma.
Aside the situation with youtube, I am thrilled that Jonathan is inventing or coming up with innovative solutions to obstacles. Like a kid his age should do.
We went to a baptism today. A very dear friend of mine had a second baby 3 months ago and the baby girl was baptized today. When we arrived, Jonathan was hungry and the food served (mostly salads) was not appealing to him. Vanessa did eat a bit of Spanish style rice and salad with me. But Jonathan was cranky, so daddy took him somewhere near to eat. When they came back, Jonathan was energized and happy. He started playing with Vanessa and soon enough my friend's first son (who is 2) joined them and the three of them started running and screaming and playing and having a great time. All the other people were enjoying watching them play. It was a good afternoon.
At home, he and Vanessa played beautifully for a while. They ate early and went to bed early (for a change :)
