"MAAAAA" comes the noise of my 2 1/2 year old from his bedroom when he hears his father coming home for the day. "MAAA, MAAA!!!" The excitement as he runs to the door is all over his face, in his wide eyes and his opened mouth smile.
Some people may look at my little man and wonder why "MAA"? I look at my little man and cheer for it. The truth is Andy just started saying sounds in the past few months. He started private speech therapy in May and ever since his sounds are blossoming. I do not mind being the only mom in the room proud of his animal sounds even though they do not come out just right. I am just so happy to see him try them.
My husband doesn't mind being called "MAA" either because at least Andy calls him.
Andy's diagnosis???? He doesn't have one. The therapist are pretty certain that Andy has CAS but they are cautious to diagnose him. For now they treat him for severe language delay and see how he progresses.
More to come from Andy in the next months I am sure. For now, I do not mind getting a prompted "Pa, ah, Pa" (pop) or a "O, Pa" (open). It was a 10 month battle to get him to imitate... and now that he does it game on!!!
