The many faces of Little Guy
Little Guy is so spiritual. I think it is really fascinating since he is deaf. When he first came to us, we took him to a temple and he was so serious in praying to all the Buddas. Since then, we have seen him pray to almost any statue. Our least fav is when he insists to bow down at all the Mao's all over our campus.
Anyway at dinner we always hold hands and say the simple Madeline grace-We love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other. We have learned it in sign as well. Little Guy loves this part of the meal. He actually hates mealtime, so this usually is the only part of the meal that he is happy. I still don't know how someone can be so picky, but anyway...

So, last night he was looking at his little car book. I saw him touch one of the cars and sign the Madeline prayer.
I was really amazed that he had made the connection to the fact that we are praying at meal time. We have never attempted to explain it to him, it's just something we do. And I was in total shock that he had the insight to pray for a car.
