On the way to Houston |
Brandon and I "talked" (I use quotes because Brandon is nonverbal) on FaceTime while I was away. He's used FaceTime with his dad and his grandma, but he's never been interested. I don't think he ever realized he was talking to someone live. I think he just thought he was watching a really boring video. When he saw me though, he had his eyes locked on me. I held on a "conversion" with him for at least 10 minutes. I yapped away, imitated sounds he made, "read" his favorite book from memory, and even sang him some songs. If you all could see me with this kid, you would understand how weird I can really be. We're constantly running, singing, and dancing around the house. With every minute that passed, I was amazed at his concentration on me. I was reminded of how in sync Brandon and I are. It felt amazing to be able to make a connection with him from so far away.

When I came home he gave me a huge smile and cupped my face in his hands.
It's the little things :)

So sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! So glad you guys are able to connect even when you're away!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet. I understand completely how significant this is. He just can't get any cuter.
