As we snuggled up in my bed together, Kieran said he wanted to tell stories. So, interested in what was going on in his nearly 4 year old brain, I asked him to tell me a story. Here it is:
"There was a Prince and a beautiful* Queen. They lived in a beautiful castle. I went to visit them. I looked at their jewels. I didn't steal any; I just admired them. I put the jewels back and I went back to my lab. I'm a scientist-detective. I looked at stuff with my magnifying glass. The end."
*Kieran describes many things as beautiful. It is one of the more complex ASL sign language signs he knows how to create - though, to be honest, he does it backwards, making the sign facing away from his own face instead of into his face. A friend of ours who specializes in autistic toddlers and preschoolers has been teaching Kieran and I a few new signs each time we go to our hockey games and Kieran loves learning them. I think it's sweet and funny that he uses the adjective beautiful so often now that he knows the sign for it.

He always sounds like such a sweet boy!
He is a pretty sweet boy. Of course, he's still a little kid, so sometimes he gets overexcited or frustrated and that results in some bumps and bruises, but that's pretty normal.
But, he is really funny with the whole story telling thing. Last night, however, the story was a variation of the one in the post, except this time two knights visited his castle and cut him in half. We had to have a little talk!
