9 YEAR OLD SAID " MAMA!"

[BLUESEAPARADISE]

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!! 😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😭

Amazing!

such a lovely thing to hear

I have been going through a hard time of late. Long story, not really relevant. But your news made me well up with happy tears, and feel so positive. Thank you for sharing.

I’m so happy for you, what a joy it must have been to hear him say MAMA! 😍

So happy for you, being a mum is the deepest love ever and the sweetest word. Hoping he continues to prove them wrong. Love & pride 💗👌

Just about to go to bed and so lovely to have this wonderful thread on my mind as I go to sleep...lovely news!

That is so lovely. I can imagine how proud you must be feeling.

My autistic five year old is non verbal. He goes weeks saying a total of five words. One day out of the blue he said “love you mummy”
Best feeling in the world.
Well done to your ds
