Everything was "buh".........So ECI got involved. If I heard another, "Oh he'll talk" or "There's nothing wrong with him, he's smart" I think I was gonna jump off a bridge.<BR/>But so proud of my Bubby, he now has about 40 words. <BR/>-Shannon in AustinShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502975676135226121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16825229.post-75406831002207803862008-08-14T09:20:00.000-07:002008-08-14T09:20:00.000-07:00Just catching up after a few much-needed days away...Just catching up after a few much-needed days away.

The excitement when your son actually says something that you can understand. And the ever present explaining about the sounds that, yes, DO occur in certain words. I see my son getting better in some ways but in other ways, I feel we are so far from where we need to be. This is such a tough subject to talk about because all parents want--no they KNOW--that their kids are perfect. And just because the rest of the world doesn't understand them? Well that just makes it harder some days. So thank you for writing about this. It made me feel so much better after reading it.For the Long Haulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05844179491237413679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16825229.post-413324117174893202008-08-13T08:55:00.000-07:002008-08-13T08:55:00.000-07:00Awww, that's awesome!
