"It makes you look shiny."
As I spoke his hand went around his neck to the silver toy necklace I got that matched his crown.
He didn't speak but his head lifted just barely.
No smile or anything,but it was progress.
I fiddled with the torn string on my jeans.
"It looks nice on you."
Again no words,but his head lifted slightly higher.
"Now you can shine like the stars on your crown."
No words as usual,but I swore I saw a smile.
