The Noggin toots his own horn (and a giveaway winner!)

Wednesday~July 1st, 2009

Asher is especially fond of a toy trumpet we found at a garage sale. (Yes, I bought a second-hand toy a child puts his or her mouth on and then blows saliva into. Sure, it probably has many foreign germs embedded inside of it, but I bought it anyway, just because Asher liked it so much. Ahem.) Anyway, my favorite parts of the video are when he plays the trumpet through his nose (brilliant), and then studies where to put his fingers very closely (brilliant), and then lastly, how he blows and blows and blows and then answers, “Uh huh!” when asked if he’s dizzy. (which is hard to hear, but it’s at the very end-the part where he looks a little drunk from all that light-headed tootin‘ of the horn.)

I can’t even really describe what it’s like for me to watch Asher enjoy life, his little personality blossoming in ways it just couldn’t before. His pain and discomfort were stealing his ability to just have fun before his surgery and recovery. Now look at ’em! Oh how I love this boy…Enjoy!
