One Little Word...

This was the first good note I've gotten home from school in months. Yes, this was a few weeks ago, I'm a little behind here with the blog. But anyway, this is from a child that was mute for over 2 years, at least. "Eat" is the first word that Andy has learned to use with meaning. Yesterday was parent teacher conferences for both boys. Andy's teacher told me about one of his classmates coming up to the teacher all excited because he said that one word. This little girl was just as excited as the teacher and I, and was the first thing she told her mom when she came to pick her up!!! :-) These are awesome folks Andy is with for 4 mornings a week. Just a few months ago he was having such a difficult time with school. That has very much improved in the last month or so. The hope is that when more communication comes less frustration and tantrums and outbursts. He now points to a loaf of bread and says eat every time he wants some. It's an awesome start Andy!
