Because of this, he was able to receive music therapy and it has worked well. But funding issues has scaled back the program and though Ben would benefit, he cannot even be considered. On the upside, though, Michael gave me some great advice we're trying out. I don't have much musical aptitude, but we do have some instruments that we're making available to the boys.

It puts us all in a good mood. My grandma's favorite song was "You Are My Sunshine." When she was dying, I sang it softly in her ear. Then, when I was pregnant with Adam, I sang it all the time. When he was born, it was the first song I ever sang to him. Just remembering all this brings tears to my eyes. My grandma Jessie was the kindest, sweetest person in the world.

Strangely, he had a much better sense of tone then, then he does now. Thanks for the dose of Bugs. He sure beats the heck out of Transformers, or even Speed Racer.

He also sand along "Day-O" with uncle Mike at two years. But the best was when he was in church (which didn't happen often) during his cousin R.G.'s first communion. Just at the solemn time, when all this little catholics were for the first time receiving the "body of Christ", after months of preparation the little sh*t starts singing "Hit the Road, Jack".. I grabbed his mouth shut and we did hit the road!!! Thanks for the Memories!!!! Ben could sing “You Are So Beautiful” to me before he could tell me his name.
