WAITED 9 YEARS FOR MY DC TO SAID THEIR FIRST WORD... HE JUST SPOKE!

[BLUESEAPARADISE]

Just that really! 😭😭😭😭😭 I am a completely blubbering mess! 😭😭😭😭

Waited 9 years for my DC to say his first word and he just spoke and said " oh no!" 😭😭😭

AIBU to keep him off of school tomorrow to take him to his favourite restaurant and park to Celebrate?! The places he really likes are normally extremely busy and loud if we try and go at weekends / after school or in the holidays and it doesn't result in an enjoyable experience for him!

I also so incredibly proud and I just want to treat him for talking even though I don't even think he is aware he has said a word! ❤️😭😭😭

Congratulations!!!

I'm so thrilled for you (and more than a little teary).

It's a pretty amazing feeling. It was strong emotions that brought out ds2's first clear words, so don't feel too deflated if he doesn't follow up with more, very soon.

Ds2 is 11, now and I sometimes wish he would shut the fuck up. He's definitely trying to make up for lost time. He spent several long minutes, this morning, repeatedly shouting and spelling Carphone Warehouse before moving on to chanting his version of the lyrics to a song.

And, exciting as it is, be cautious about keeping him off school. He might find the change of routine itself quite confusing.

We love Elmo, btw, and ours is a tenacious little chap.

Congratulations OP!! Go nuts, you both deserve it xx

❤👏👍😀

Fantastic. That is definitely worthy of a fabulous treat day out.

How fantastic! Yes do whatever you can to celebrate well done

Amazing, what a feeling- the lows that come with waiting so long make the high even higher.
Congratulations. Have a lovely day tomorrow.

Amazing op, what a milestone
Can't think of many better reasons for a day off school to celebrate tbh. Hope you have a lovely day.
I'm not crying it's hayfever

that's wonderful but surely 'oh no' is more of a sentence than a word?! it's amazing, he is doing wonderfully, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!I

Celebrate! How amazing, I'm actually crying a bit for you, happy tears! I cannot imagine the elation you're feeling right now. So much love to you all op xxx

So happy for you. Yes, do go and celebrate!

how fabulous! congratulations mini BlueSea and enjoy your well deserved celebrations!

That is so lovely! Many congratulations.

My ds is 22. When he was about 9, he was lying on the settee, not very well and declared 'Nicole' just like in the car advert.

Superb! Take him out, what's one day??

That's so lovely to hear OP. Well done to your DS!

Definitely have fun and celebrate tomorrow!

God, lump in my throat. My 2.5 year old last spoke at 13 months, I'd love to hear him speak again!

Definitely take him out

Congratulations!! Damn it, I seem to have something in my eye....

Amazing

That's amazing, thrilled for you :)
