New Words

Just a few weeks ago our little guy was hardly speaking. When he wanted things he would point and cry for them. He didn't want to be any where near a stranger or go to different places.. In just a few short weeks he has started to slowly change his ways.

We had a A/C Tech here to service the A/C unit. When he was here before William didn't want to be any where near him. He wanted to be held and for me to stay away from the service tech. Yesterday was completely different. William wanted to be in the same room as him. Not only that. He has never wanted to be around males. So I was completely blown away. On top of that. Williams Popa was here. William has never wanted to have anything to do with his Popa but yesterday he was right beside him too. I had to take him to McDonalds and the Park just so they could Finish servicing the A/C unit.

William has also learned a couple of New words. Last night he looked right at me with a questionable look on his face and said.. "What's going On?" I couldn't help but laugh.. I did answer his question.. I told him nothing but it's night night time.. Then William jumped up and ran to turn off the lights and dive into his bed & under the covers.

This morning was the same as the night before. More Surprises . We were playing in the living room and William dumped out his box of toys . Then he said.. I clean up.. He picked up all his toys one by one and put them back in the box. Every day seems to be something new he has learned. I can't wait until Monday. More Learning for him and Me...

Yea! Communication! Isn't it great? I have a daughter who is visually impaired and didn't use gestures until she was almost 2 years old. She didn't talk much either. The first time she pointed at a box of crackers she wanted, I was ecstatic!!!
Thanks for following my blog about Orangeboy. Hopefully you can look past my wry humor and get some insight about what is to come. It's not all bad. Just think: quirky but brilliant!

I am totally blown away by your blog. Thank you, so much, for sharing your story with us.

Most people take all the small things in life for granted. Your son teaches us that each small thing is an amazing reason for celebration. He's a lucky little boy to have parents who cheer him on and give him all that he needs to grow. After all ... that's really all we can do for another, right.

Take Care!
