Lullaby

I don't know why but Gabriel has been sad lately. He has never cried after Roger or I like most children do after their parents but all of a sudden that's what he is doing. He isn't sad everyday but when he is, I feel helpless. He woke up today from his nap and started crying. Not a big BOO-HOO, just a lip quivering with big tears. I can't ask him what is wrong because he just doesn't understand how to tell me. All I can do is rub his back and tell him it's okay.
You know, I tell that same thing to Katherine and Matthew when they get hurt or cry..."Are you okay? It's gonna be okay..." If Gabriel were to fall down or get hurt he would get up and look at me and say, "you okay?" I guess that's what he thinks your response should be when you get hurt. YOU OKAY???
He just started all this last week but if he keeps it up I am going to take him to the doctor and see if I can find out what's going on.
As most of you know, Gabriel likes music. Katherine got the DVD "Grease" the movie last weekend and has been watching it A LOT. Gabriel now likes Grease also. ESPECIALLY the songs . One of his favorites is, "We go together", (not many of you know that I am a Grease Freak. I have loved it since I was 7 or 8 years old. So OF COURSE I know ALL the songs). Tonight when he started to cry I started singing to him. If I even tried to sing a sweet lullaby he would probably hit me so instead I sang...

"We go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong
Remember forever shoo-bop sha whada whadda yippidy boom da boom
Chang chang changity chang shoo bop that's the way it should be
Waooo Yeah!
We're one of a kind like dip da dip da dip do whap de dobby do
Our names are signed like boogy boogy boogy boogy shooby shoo
wap shoo wap
Chang chang changity chang shoo bop we'll always be like one
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-one
When we go out at night oh-oh
And the stars are shining bright oh-oh
Up in the skies above
Or at the high school dance
Where you can find romance maybe it might be oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

-lots of Ramma ramma words-

We're for each other like womp bop a looma a womp bam boom
Just like my brother is sha na na na na na na na yippity dip da do
Chang chang changity chang shoo bop we'll always be together
Waooo Yah!

We'll always be together
-50 more times-

Can you believe it worked? SOUND ASLEEP!
And it's true... Gabriel and I will always be together
A mama's boy.
The funny thing is that he is built just like Roger was at 5 and looks just like Roger did too. I think he's going to be this foxy autistic dude that girls are very attracted too. (remember in "RAINMAN" when the hooker tried to pick-up Raymond in Vegas?) But I need not worry...after he picks his nose and puts it in his mouth they'll walk away... I'll tell them...
Go get a HICKEY from KENICKIE!
Boogy boogy boogy boogy shooby shoo wap shoo wap!
