As many of you know, my Adam is a man of few words. He struggles with words; both speaking words and listening to words. I never knew that it could be so difficult to "teach" my child to speak, a process that I took for granted as it naturally happened with my two girls. Adam has been in speech therapy now for a few months. He is making progress, slow and painful progress. Throughout this process, I have come to truly treasure the few words that are spoken by my sweet (sometimes not so sweet) little boy. Last night while I was reading to him and tucking him into bed, he said very simply, "sing." SING. Oh, of course I'll sing! It was a special moment. He was able to articulate a desire and I was able to fulfill his wish. Simple human interaction - profound progress.
Oh how sweet! What a tender story! He must love hearing you sing. I know my boys would love hearing you- instead they have to suffer through a tone deaf mother squeaking out songs! How have you been feeling? Do you have some energy back and how is the little 2 week plan going?
ReplyDeleteOh yea, I love your family recipe blog. I've already printed a couple to try! Thanks McGee girls!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute moment. I didn't know he had these difficulties. I guess that's what I get for moving so far away! Hope all is going well, you guys look so cute, and you DO seem as if you've "got it all together."
ReplyDeleteI am happy for you :) So glad the speech therapy is helping.
