This weekend was both frustrating but also involved a milestone which made up for everything!
It felt like a lot of his speech regressed a bit today – not only was a lot of it unintelligible, there was a few times where Id ask him something and he wouldnt even try to say anything, not even the garbled babbling (I hate the term “babble” but I cant think of another word to describe it)
It was either silence or a repetitive “mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm” (except when I said “you’re not using your words?” And he said “oh-hey” [okay] )
But, Ive been teaching him the sign for Why because thats a huge thing for me – I hate that he’s never asked a question before. I think I asked him to pick up toys or something, and he starts tapping himself on the forhead going “ai ai ai ai ai” and it took me a second to realize – he was trying to sign and say why!!! I dont even remember what I told him but I gave him the biggest hug ever!
I love that child so much ❤ I never thought it was possible to feel my heart melt so many times over one little human ❤❤
