Can I just say how awesome it is to hear your child talk?
For all those of you who are saying, "What?! Are you nuts?" No, I'm not.
When you have a child who does not speak, express opinion, show emotion or affection, than when he does do any of those things, you are absolutely thrilled!
JD, who will be seven years old in September, actually repeated a bedtime prayer on Friday night. It was awesome, gratifying, and wonderful. Does it matter that he was just repeating my words? Does it matter that it was sort of "echoing"? Not to me!! He prayed. He talked to God. That's all that matters, in my book.
It was the first time he has prayed like that.
It is wonderful to hear him say emphatically, "No." It is awesome to hear him express an opinion by saying "no." It is great to hear him sing a little song about shapes that he likes. It is even more wonderful to hear him count to 30 by following numbers on the calendar. It is awesome to see him write letters on the dry erase board. But to hear him repeat a prayer? That is joy unspeakable. God's goodness abounds toward us!
I am expecting great things to come next!
Till next time,
Jeanette
