To be over the moon that my 7 year old said 'mummy'

[Bobbybobbins]

DS7 is (generally) non verbal, ASD and severe learning difficulties. We get very very limited and occasional words. He has said daddy quite a few times and his brother's name.

Today while I was getting him out of the car he said 'mummy quick'! First time he has ever said it!!!!!!

That’s lovely

That's brilliant 😀👍

❤️

That's so lovely!

Oh that's lovely! I bet it made your heart absolutely sing 🥰🥰🥰

What a little superstar. That's lovely!

That sounds like a wonderful moment 😍

That's so lovely x

That's amazing!!!
I bet it felt so lovely to hear 🥰

That’s amazing. What a moment for you 🥰

I have nothing useful to add but that really made me smile, how lovely!

What a lovely way to start the new year! ❤️❤️

Whoo hoo! That's beautiful

That’s lovely - what a beautiful start to the year - my son was about the same age when he first said it and it’s still his clearest word (now an adult). ‘Pinch mummy’ and ‘ring mummy’ sound the same though so I have to see the sign to distinguish between the game of thrones style list or wanting to ring me 😁

It is a very special word, so pleased for you xxxx

A proud moment

my DS is the same as yours and it’s the little things xxxx

It's wonderful 🥰. Little moments like these make it all worthwhile x

I cannot imagine what that felt like, after 7 years. I’m so happy you got this beautiful present to kick off the year (and as a sign perhaps of all the good for the year ahead) ..

Beautiful 💖💖

What a way to start the New Year! That's fantastic, I hope you get to hear "mummy" many more times.

Love this 🥰 It's going to be a good year OP Xxx

That's brilliant. What a wonderful moment.

That’s so lovely! ❤️

That's wonderful OP! Happy New Year to you all.

There are similarities between my DS and yours, and this is just lovely for you

That’s great, I can relate, these moments are the best

What a wonderful post :-). My son has additional needs and the first time he said I love you made me cry. ( like you he was older). To hear them speak means so so much.

The little things are the big things. What a lovely happy day for you both today. Xx
