So we started pointing out to him when we were being sarcastic, and especially pointing out the (often exaggerated) expressions on our face. Eventually, he got the point, and it became a game with him. I'd say something like, "Oh, I can't WAIT to go to the dentist!" and he'd point at me and declare: "SARCASM! I see it in your eyes!" I cannot tell you how much I loved that. So I totally get your enjoyment of Max's teasing! (And, FYI, we had my son's bar mitzvah last year, when he was 14, when he was ready...though we still did it 'his way.' It was the most amazing day; I still shiver with pride when I think about it. Mazel tov to you guys.)TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490117693253485044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-37389344682772256192016-03-03T10:14:03.657-05:002016-03-03T10:14:03.657-05:00Watch out anonymous might chime about teasing :) ...Watch out anonymous might chime about teasing :) Autism Daddy had a similar post a while back about seeing things that are age appropriate or just unteachable stuff. Henry is in the don't come in my room phase, a very teenage behavior that was nice to see.
