came home to two! two! two things of awesomeness, BWAHAHAHA!

Thing 1: Seaners led his father into his room and made a word approximation that sounded like 'Madonna'. Chris put the stereo (and his favorite Madonna CD) on. Seaners laughed happily and began to stim. YAY KID!

Thing 2: This morning, after having been to Emmi's yesterday and seen the way she arranges her living room, I thought to myself, "maybe I'll buy a short sofa or loveseat and a few chairs when we replace our sofa. we should do that soon, when we have money'.

Come home to find that the babysitter found a couple of our neighbors moving their matching loveseat/chair combo to the curb as they were moving and didn't want it and just nabbed it, not knowing that we'd been discussing this topic earlier. They're a nice denim-y blue and quite comfy, and in fabulous condition.

Thank you universe~! *squee*

Sometimes the universe knows you need an immediate pick-me-up. :D

He's really starting to figure out that COMMUNICATION IS GOOD. It makes Mom and Dad cheer, and it's MUCH more effective than screeching. :-D And I think he likes having his own little stereo. (I must say I'm pretty happy about it. I can listen to Things That Are Not The Same Madonna Album! Like a Real Grownup! OMG!)

Just now he heard me opening a box of shortbread cookies and signed "more eat" correctly (both signs with no prompting, contextually).
