Finding your voice

I remember when we found out we were having a boy. Other Moms warned be it would be different. "You will love your children the same," they would say. "But, your relationship with your son will be different."

While I didn't think it was possible, they were right. I do love my children the same, but my relationships with them are different.

I have told your story before. After eighteen months seeing an Early Intervention Specialist once a week, you still hadn't found "your voice". You were two years behind, and the specialists offered me no options, despite my expressions of concern.

I have always believed God puts people in your life for a reason...be it good or bad. Thankfully, God put a friend in my life who cared enough (and knew enough) to show me I did have options. I needed to see a developmental pediatrician for a medical opinion. Thanks to God, my dear friend, and a few good doctors, we received your medical diagnosis and began our treatment plan.

Since that time six months ago, you have indeed "found your voice". I will never forget when you said "Mama" for the first time, "Love you", or "I can talk". Sure, you may not be able to say your name, but you can spell it! Your words aren't always clear, but you have come leaps and bounds.

We look forward to celebrating your progress again and again! We have so much hope and are so proud of you!
