Just thinking how amazing it was. He is ten now. Four years ago I was wondering if he would ever talk.

You didn’t know he was narrating? What a wonderful surprise (and early Christmas present) for you! Amazing 🤩

Oh bravo IncessantJunior!
Thank you for sharing with us

Fabulous! You must be so pleased.

I used to know a University Professor who said he couldn't talk until he was 5.

What a boy!

Seem to have a speck of dust in my eye. Thank you for sharing. What a wonderful achievement - what a boy!

@IncessantNameChanger my eyes seem to be leaking.

This is one of the loveliest things I've read recently.
You must be so proud of your DS. I bet there wasn't a dry eye in the house!

Sleeepdeprived · 13/12/2022 19:47

That’s amazing. Massive congratulations to your son, what an incredible achievement. You must be so, so proud!

bellinisurge · 13/12/2022 19:48

You must be so proud. Hopefully of yourself too because that magnificent achievement didn't happen by accident

FlamingoQueen · 13/12/2022 19:48

That’s awesome!

That’s lovely ❤️❤️

carriebradshawwithlessshoes · 13/12/2022 19:54

Well you have made me cry! My DS is also 7 and non verbal and I can only hope for a fraction of this.

can I ask how/ what sparked things? To you and anyone else reading. I’m sorry that I’m asking an old chestnut on here, I’m starting ti think it will never happen.
