Quote of the Day

I was sitting with Thomas today watching one of his favorite baby einstein DVDs "Baby Galileo." At the beginning of the movie a quote from Galileo's came up on the screen. Thomas starts speaking this quote at the same time as the narrator in the show, word for word! I know he has probably memorized it from watching the DVD so many times but I have NEVER heard him say so many words at one time and they were pretty clear.
This is the quote he said "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered, the point is to discover them. Galileo Galilei." Of course I got so excited I went and got the video camera and started the DVD over. Of course then he wouldn't say it.
The thing that got me most (besides him speaking) is what he was actually saying. Before he spoke, I was sitting there thinking about how hard it must be to be lost in your own little world all the time. I wish sometimes I could see what he sees and fully understand his thought process. Then out of the blue he says such an encouraging quote. God was speaking right through him I'm sure.

That's great that he finds such inspiration from the baby einstein shows... We just love them.

I just bought the new sign one today! Can't wait to see it and hope that it helps N. in her speech.
