Our two older boys were born talking. I mean it! And anyone who gets to spend time with them will tell you, they haven’t stopped. Our Jack is taking his time with his words. He keeps them private and when he does decide to share, it is really special and everyone tunes in.
I made the call today to have him evaluated not because I am worried. More because I want to make sure all the mechanics and plumbing that are needed to form his words are okay. It would be so sad to learn in a few years that there was an ‘easy’ fix.
I have to giggle because one may imagine that he is a quiet guy. But that is so not the case. He has his own language and talks all the time. In fact, he is very animated.
He doesn’t show any signs of frustration but I still often wonder what it must be like to have all those thoughts and not be able to share them. So the connection we had this morning was extra special. I asked him all the colors, and as I would say each name, he would point right away with a big smile. He knew them ALL. I was floored. I had no idea!
I can’t wait to hear what he is thinking with that amazing mind of his. I am patient, for I know it will be worth waiting for.
