Just wanted to share a [grin] moment!

I just wanted to share how proud I am of my ds2 (4 yrs)- he has epilepsy and SLI and only has 6 words which people outside his family and therapists can understand. BUT today he was in the local corner shop and when I asked him what he wanted for a snack expecting him to sign his answer - then he came out with a perfectly understandable and clear APPLE! and repeated it when I asked him. So so chuffed with him - just want to shout it from the rooftops.

goes off to have another to celebrate

Lovely boy. Not sweets either! I suppose that will be next. I can remember rewarding any speech with whatever DS had asked for. Took him ages to understand 'no.'

Yay :o

you must be really proud of him

That's lovely news - well done little farming!

what fantastic news! I felt the same way when words not signs popped out of my ds. brill!

Thats wonderful news.

fantastic!

Super stuff

Brilliant - Lets hope this opens the floodgates for loads of words.

That's fantastic! Well done to your ds2!!

Awww well done!

Thanks guys - still walking round with a huge on my face! Ds is really chuffed with himself as well and is now trying to say words which is a major step forward. I know its still a long hard road ahead of us but every liitle helps as they say x
