Words don't come easily. Lewis continues to work so hard in speech therapy. A few weeks ago, he reduced me to tears when he approximated the words and I had wished and held out hope to hear someday. And it happened. Out of the blue. We were just hanging out at home playing with his toys.
"aaayyy. PAUSE. uuuhhh. PAUSE. ooooo"
I love you.
Sweet, sweet music to my ears. Three words and they brought tears to my eyes. Still does each time he tries to perfect the sounds and vocalizations of "I love you." And he's been practicing every day. My heart is so happy.
He's working hard at other words too, like "hi", "eat", "on", "up", "belly", "ear", "eye" and "arm". But clearly the I love you's are the ones that make us feel so wonderful.
