Ibbygirl Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 My son actually spoke a full sentence tonight! My jaw totally dropped to the floor! He just turned 10 years old on March 12 so I don't know if he's had a developmental growth spurt or what, but he wanted to go in the tub and take his toys in there. Usually he gestures or will say one word like, "bath" when he wants something. Today he looked me in the eyes and said, "want to go into bath." I couldn't believe it! It's the first time he's ever spoken a whole sentence! :hurray: :party: I'm so proud of my little guy! :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know your situation, but this sounds like a big deal! Oh I did. My son is profoundly Autistic and struggles to speak even one word. For him to say an entire sentence is HUGE.

Ibbygirl Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thank you for sharing with us! I couldn't help sharing because I was busting at the seams and just had to tell someone! LOL I know there are lots of ladies here with special kids who would understand and rejoice with me. The people I know IRL have typical kids and wouldn't find it that amazing. hehe Thank you all for celebrating with me. You ladies are awesome! :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so close to the beach (less than 2 miles) and the moon is so pretty and the weather is warm. We have some really nice Cuban bakeries down here too. :drool5: As it is though, I am sending you all heartfelt thanks for your care for my boy and for celebrating with me and a great big cyberhug! :grouphug: You ladies rock! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 That's awesome! My ds1 has started to use more sentences and can request almost everything that he needs in a typical day. It's made life soooo much easier for him (and the rest of us). I hope you and your ds enjoy his new skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
