Obviously a lone parent and on those days where your child does something amazing and you have no one to say 'look what he did!'
Well, my DS who is 3 in a few weeks has a speech delay and today he said a whole sentence!!! I was so proud of him.
Unfortunately he yelled 'oh my god, cake!' at the sight of a birthday cake in a shop, but it was a sentence!! Will work on the rest! Wink
Just wanted to share. Smile

It's a great first sentence. Something tells me his DM has been known to say something similar Smile

Well done young Vonnie.

Thats fab. My ds had speech delay too, and his first words were 'mmmm, chocolate', at age 3, when he went on an Easter egg hunt. I sense a theme here. Well done to little Vonnie.

That's an awesome sentence! Here's to the first of many.

Ah thanks everyone! I was so proud not only that he spoke but he is definitely my son in his love of cake! I have a feeling that sentence may have slipped out of my mouth on more than occasion while in the supermarket!!! Grin
And yes I am going back to purchase said cake in time for his birthday! Can't wait.

'oh my god, cake! I would have thought this would be a very good reason to ask Mary Berry around to bake you and DS one of her amazingly complicated Easter cakes she showed on her programme last night. Well it has a religious link.

A whole sentence and a little lad with his priorities all set out correctly.
I myself enjoy a good 'cake' exclamation daily from time to time ;)

So glad you can share here. I am just entering the lone parent world and this is part of what scares me, no one to share the ups and downs with!
Thanks

Hi Mooning it is a daughting prospect, I am less than a year in.
But I tell you what its the highs where you get to say to yourself, I helped do that.
And the lows where you have a cuppa and just breath.
And if on the days where neither of those things are enough, the support from these threads are just amazing.
It's the hardest thing I have ever done, but also so rewarding.
You will be fine.FlowersCake
