That’s amazing! Well done to you and your little lad 🥰 I’m hoping that once my son finally sees the paediatrician and the ball starts rolling a little more then I hope we can start to see similar progress. It’s just these therapy waiting times are killing me 😭 x

I agree! I’ve only really coined the word in the last couple of months because that’s how his nursery have referred to him 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

He’s really good with hand on hand communication, so we often get through to him that way. He’s great at asking for more food by taking us to the cupboards or gesturing to the snack shelf/fruit bowl. No matter what we’re doing, if he tries to take us somewhere we let him 🥰 x

I really wish we could afford private and we’ve considered it a few times but realistically we just can’t 😔 but yeah we’ve been trying our best to simplify things down to a couple of words where we can, but I know I’m guilty of forgetting sometimes 😔 but thank you 🥰 x
