New Words

Well, one of the biggest struggles with S1 is communication. But we've had some major breakthroughs. A couple of months ago he started saying "eat" when he is hungry!!! Hooray!!!! For a "normal' child this might not be such huge news but for S1, who is 8, it was a miracle! It's so nice because now he'll come to me and say "eat" whenever he is hungry instead of just being whiny! Another word he loves to use now is "Wow!" He says it when he's impressed about something (like the waterfall at California Adventure @ DisneyLand) or had a lot of fun, like today when he got out of swim lessons. Another word he knows is hot. One Sunday we were getting ready for church and he started repeating hot and kind of whining. I thought he was being silly until he laid down on the floor and curled up into a ball. Then I took his temperature and sure enough, he had a fever! I couldn't believe it. I was floored. So we didn't go to church that day because S1 was hot.
