"Wow Mom, Thats Cool"

Today I was trying really hard to get my mind together. In the process of doing this I was talking to myself out loud.  When I got though with my statement I looked down at Dart. He looked up at me, rolled his eyes and said, "Wow mom, Thats so cool."

He then sighed and continued playing with his toys.

I was in shock. And then I laughed out loud. I realized just how often I seem to write him off. From now on I plan on spending more time listening and engaging with him. As amusing his response was, it was also a bit of a wake up call.
