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!! 😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😭

How wonderful OP! I’m so happy for you and your DS

GaspingGekko · 22/02/2018 20:22

I'm actually sobbing! I'm so happy for you OP.
We've been told DS may never talk and the day where I suddenly realised that would mean he'd never call me maman was one of the hardest days yet. This must be such a wonderful day for you. FlowersFlowers
He's made you proud and given some of us hope.

Bobbybobbins · 22/02/2018 20:23

So happy for you! We have two almost non verbal DS who are 4 and 2 - neither say Mama (though both say Dada of course!) and I am hopeful that one day I will have this moment too

BlueSea I read your post and felt the goosebumps come up all over my body, but could not see them because my eyes welled up completely.

This is a red letter day. A red letter MAMA day. I'm so very happy for you.

Bet Nana is as excited as she will be when he says NANA. Flowers
