Russell cracks me up! Friday night my family decided at about 9pm that it was time for a snack instead of getting ready for bed LOL Russell was grazing the kitchen and pulling cans of food out of the pantry so I gave him a bar and sent him on his way. Reece wanted a ice cream cone so I made her one and Russell noticed she was eating one. Then, daddy was putting TONS of ice cream in a bowl for his daddy self and Russell walked up and kept looooking and loooooking in the bowl... trying to check out what daddy was eating, then walked away.
Moment later we were all sitting on the couch watching TV, Kevin still eating his ice cream and guess who comes into the living room wanting to show me something? Yep... my boy Russell B Dussle... and GUESS what he had with him???
THE BOX OF ICE CREAM CONES!!!!!!!!
He put them by me.. .and kept looooking and loooooking at the picture on the box and pointed to them....he wanted what Daddy and Reecypoo had!!!! He took the box to Regan and she opened it up and he took out a cone and took a bite and realized it wasn't what he thought it was (no ice cream in it) and put it down. It was 9:30 at this point though so daddy compromised and shared his bowl of ice cream with Russell, sans cone.
Talk about communicating!!!! Isn't that cool??? And he is sooo flippin cute when he does this!!! It doens't happen often... but I have to tell you since we started the Risperdal he really does pay attention to us more and more and what is going on in the house...it's very cool!!!
Oh.. and another cool side note... without even prompting Russell can sign HELP appropraitely when he needs help. If you ask "what do you need" he can sign HELP! And we were in the bathroom this weekend and he was signing TALK to me.... because I have been using that sign more and more with him... and just out of the blue he signed TALK. LOL I don't quite know what that was for but heck I'll take it. He does signs at times we don't know why and we giggle... but any signs are good to me!
