DD said 'mummy'

Incredible. DH and I are lying in bed with DS between us (he still gets into bed with us in the middle of the night, oh dear!). DD starts banging on her door and generally telling us in her way she wants milk/breakfast when she says, really clearly, 'Mummmmmmyyyyyy'. DH nearly jumped out of his skin. If we hadn't both heard it we would have probably thought we had imagined it. She said it with exactly the same intonation that DS uses. She's such a mini minx- says a word in context perfectly and then never says it again. Autism, eh? How wonderful though. I don't care if I never hear it again

Our word that was said once, then never again was 'seal'- said perfectly. I think Mummy is better!

Are you coming to the PECS thingy next week Jak?

That is great JakB - something very special about your child calling you 'Mummy'.

That is SO lovely.

sphil · 04/11/2005 22:26

That must have been wonderful - I'm still waiting for 'mummy'.

Our best word said once and never again was 'bakery'- perfectly pronounced from a child who rarely utters more than the initial sounds of words.

Jakb- ds1 said mummy yesterday! 1st time I've ever thought he was saying it properly (rather than just making sounds) He waqs sitting at the bottom of the stairs crying so I went over to him and he threw his arms around me and said ":mummy, mummy mummy" Very weird!
