I have a VERY clever 4 year old

He's miles behind his peers, he has next to no head control, he can't sit without support, he's nowhere near being able to walk. He is preverbal and he is very much in his own world but BUT he is beginning to smile when he means 'Yes please, I'd like to do that" and that is a huge, huge step for him. Huge.
