9 YEAR OLD SAID " MAMA!"

Basically that!!

After 9 years of waiting I can finally say that my DS has said " Mama!" 😭😭😭😭

My DS has list of health issues and is developmentally 9-18 months old.

From day one I have been told that DS will never talk ( and other things ) however recently he has started to say the odd word here and there .. I have been over the moon and telling everyone who will listen ( including posting in this topic every time 🙈)

however today my DS said " mama!!!!" 😍😍😭😭😭😭

He kept walking around saying " Mama!" So I pointed to myself and repeated " Mama" ( to show him that I am Mama!) however he is now walking around the house pointing to himself going " Mama!" 🙈😍😍 even though I know he doesn't understand what the word means and that he is in fact calling himself Mama I am absolutely over the moon and I can feel my heart exploding with joy .. I never knew I could love someone this much and be so proud!

I CAN FINALLY HEAR MY DS SAY " MAMA!!" ... HE SAID " MAMA!" I HAVE WAITED 9 YEARS FOR THIS! 😍😍😍😍

I don't even mind he isn't aiming it at me .. just hearing his sweet little voice call my name is the absolute best feeling in the world!

My 9 year old boy said Mama!! 😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thankyou so much everyone! His Nanny came over last night to hear him and he typically stopped talking and didn't say it.. I even tried recording it on my phone secretly and again he stopped .. it's like he knows I am trying to capture the moment! 😳🙈😂😂

At 4am I got woken up to the most lovely sound in the world sounding through his baby monitor" MaaaaMaaaaaa!" 😍😍😍😍
