BUT for Junior it is huge and something we get oh so very excited about.
Since starting to use the ipad for communication his verbalization attempts have greatly increased. As I have mentioned in the past Junior's mouth structure makes it very hard for him to pronounce sounds. Also very hard to understand him unless you know him really well. He tries so hard though and I can understand many of his words as do those spending a great deal of time with him.
Yesterday we were at the hospital for his GJ change(feeding tube). We had just gotten into the waiting room when Junior looks at me and says "add". Only took me a moment to realize he was saying pad and wanted his ipad. I was soooo happy to hear him ask for it by name, no whining or crying to get my attention he just asked. It is those seemingly small things in life that make it all worth it and make me want to jump for joy and celebrate. So proud of my boy.
Enjoying some Scooby-Doo after we got home.
