What's on my Ipod? Obviously very little that Gabe wanted to listen too. Because, according to Gabe, when I asked him if he wanted to listen to The Goo Goo Dolls' song Sympathy he replied with,"I don't think so."Pink!? Dixie Chicks? Christina Aguilera? Maroon 5? Black Eyed Peas?
Was that an I don't think so?
I said, "Oh really?"
"Highway song. Listen to highway song!" Gabe cheered.
Gabe has a few songs that he is really into. They are the following...
Life is a Highway Rascal Flatts
Real Gone Cheryl Crow
Time to Start Blue Man Group
Shine Robots soundtrack
Black Horse and the Cherry Tree KT Tunstall
Irresistible Beyonce (He says to the right, to the right instead of to the left)
He loves to sing. In fact, Gabe knows much more than he lets on. I remember about 6 months ago we started expecting Gabe to participate in grace. First, just sitting quietly, then putting his hands together to pray, and then saying Amen. It took him about a month to catch on.
One evening, we made Gabe's favorite, steak and french fries with a cold cup of milk. We all sat down, hands together and began in prayer....Bless us O'Lord....enthusiastically, Gabe continued...and we stopped. We stopped saying grace, because Gabe was not only saying Grace with us, but could recite our prayer in its entirety, word for word, all the way up until the Amen.
"Amen!" he smiled.
Amazed, I asked Gabe, "What are you thankful for?"
He laughed and proudly stated, "French Fries!"
Amen.
