Proud mummy, dd reduced me to tears tonight

[smurff]

Hi, I just had to share this, my dd is 3 and a half and has global development delay and learning difficulties and speech delay, she could say poss 1 sentence and about 10/15 words mostly only me and her dad could understand what she was saying . She is always happy and smiling and very very loving. In the last 2wks her speech has exploded, she's just started to say thirsty and actually told me she was hungry!. Tonight after her tea I said to her would you like a yoghurt, she looked at Me and said so clearly... yes please.. thankyou. I just suddenly filled up. I know it's probably not alot to some people but to me and her dad it ment so much more than I could say. Plus she has started saying love you mummy. You can tell she knows she has said something right cause she gives me the biggest smile and starts dancing

How wonderful. Small things are huge milestones when it comes to us special needs parents! I am longing for the day when I will hear my son speak!
