He did it, he said mommy!!

My little boy is 2 1/2 now and been home since he was 14 mos. old. His speech has been delayed so much. Until yesterday his words were da, and juice. Today he said mommy help me, (he wanted me to turn on the tv) I just starting crying and he looked at me like what are you crazy. I hope this is the start of many words to come but the only word I ever wanted was mommy. Oh I'm so happy.

I remember that first-time feeling - it absolutely fills your heart.

Hope you get to hear it many, many times more.

Ah yes, the first time I heard the word "MAMI" coming from DS's mouth was amazing, beautiful and one I will always cherish. Congratulations on reaching this very special milestone - many more await you!

I am so happy for you. Congratulations on hearing that most wonderful word. Praying that the floodgates will now open so his speech develops quickly and catches up.
