Just a quick post. I plan on posting a new video of Damien soon on his speech progress. The past month or so he has been trying to say some new things. It's pretty incredible. I love how Dominic and Alex's eyes get real big when they realize he just said a word! Then they come screaming to me what he said which in turn makes Damien try saying it again. Sometimes we get a word, sometimes we get a spitting tongue thrust. His biggest word right now is dee-dee (baby) He says dee-dee and pats my tummy or lays his head on it. He's quick to say dee-dee in public and point to my belly showing everyone mommy is pregnant. lol
On the 18th he will be starting school leaving here at 7:30 and coming home at noon M-F. I am so hoping with this intense school routine and therapy we will have more words soon. We had a teacher meet and greet this week and come to find out there is some boy who is deaf in class so they will do a LOT of signing. I've worked with him on some signs but hopefully he will learn more and understand that we know what he means with these gestures. Gestures right now is a sound or a charade to let us know what he needs or wants.
About Me
- Sabrina
- I'm a 35 year old momma married to my high school sweetheart. When we were 16 we pinky swore to NEVER have kids. Obviously there was a change of heart and we've worked our way up to 7 now, ages 12,10,7,6,4,3,2. We truly are blessed! I worked for 2 years after my first born then quit when my 2nd came along and took much more rewarding career as a Stay At Home Mom. My days consist of scrubbing dirty faces, changing diapers and chauffeuring kids every day. Along with our kids I also take care of many different animals on our little home on the range. Life is great though, I wouldn't change it for the world.
