Snow days.

This being the longest snow day, in the history of snow days, ever, we're kinda going nuts in here. Then we got a call saying school is closed til forever. Snow on the roof, and all that. 

But it's not all bad. Baduka decided to talk.

You should know, he has a large vocabulary, knows how to read, and can sing lots of songs, but mostly everything he ever says is scripted or copied. He almost never speaks his own words.

It started with, "school?" Sorry buddy, there's like all the snow ever, outside.

Then, "I go to school tomorrow?" Still sorry, but they found more snow.

Last night in the middle of a meltdown, "sorry!I'm sorry!sorry!" and that one almost broke my heart. He's never even copied an apology. 

As he was calming down, he asked for "car ride please?" I asked him where to? He said, "Auntie's house?" We made a video of it.

Today has been my favorite. His therapist is here for aba. I was talking to her in the kitchen, and he stood in the doorway, grabbed my hand, and said, "Mommy, come chase me please!" Then ran giggling down the hallway. Honestly, I could barely see through the tears to find him, so thankfully he was still giggling. 

Best.snow.day.ever.
