I'll go sailing

I just have to share this with the rest of the world. Q, my almost 4 year old boy, is somewhat obsessive. Diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, he gets fixated on certain things. Helpful when the fixation is a good one and helps you solve some deep question or prove a theory, less helpful when it is an unhealthy fixation that leads to no where. Narrow field of interests they call it. Anyway, Q's current obsession is with the Disney movie Finding Nemo. He watches it almost every day when he gets home from school. As you can imagine I know entirely too much about this movie. The ending credits of the movie are accompanied by the song "Beyond the Sea", an old standard lounge song. Having heard this way too many times I started singing it to the kids. They loved it. Now Q has taken to singing it. And just now he sang practically the whole song in tune with a lounge styling to it that was just adorable. Having a 4 year old sing "Happy we'll be beyond the sea" at the top of his lungs just makes me smile. Sometimes this job isn't so bad after all.
