More change...

Well...

For the first time EVER, Thomas threatened violence against a doll. For anyone who knows Thomas - this is monumental. His Asperger's fixation has been babies and dolls since he was 2. Loved them, rocked them, stared longingly at them in stores, owned one, lost one; you get the idea.

At the Medieval Faire yesterday, he says to me, " Mom, can I have a broad sword so I can chop the heads off of Vanessa's dolls ?" I was astounded. Not only becuase this was a violent act but because this was Thomas speaking. He who is still championing to get his own carriage for his sister's dolls !

I take this as a milestone for Thomas. A sign that he is indeed maturing and changing. He is loathe to give up his babyish readers. He is loathe to pass by the dolls in the store without looking. He is loathe to pass by a baby and not ask questions about it to the parents. BUT - he is now willing to cut off dolls heads or at least consider it. Some say future psychopath - I say ahhhh. My boy is growing up. Thank You God.
