Eyes behind ya
June 24, 2008
Like my mother told me, I tell C I have “eyes in the back of my head” when it comes to him. It worked with me as a kid; I believed my Mom could see everything I was doing. But C isn’t that easy. He. Must. Test. Constantly. “Mommy, without turning around, can you see what direction my train is going?”
Not realizing yet I was being tested, I said, “Forward.”
“Nope,” he said, “it’s going backward. Why couldn’t you see that with your eyes behind ya?”

LOL That’s adorable. I love the little things that my son says. Mine loves trains too. Nice to find another blogger dealing with Autism.
Thanks, Ruthie. Am on my way to visit you now!

Tell him it’s like a mirror when you see out of the back of your head. Like the way Ambulance is on the front of an ambulance. *nod*
*is evil*
LOL - I’ll point out the ambulance thing next time - he’ll get a kick out of that, actually.
