I did have someone making assumptions about Austin, you know who I mean. So of course, like you were with Intrepid, I was defensive. It was a hard telephone call to make when I had to tell her she was right and so were you Mav! Thanks for speaking out! Don't worry Mav, someone wise told me that sometimes were are not ready for the truth, then the day comes when we are ... your a GREAT Momma! :) HUGS!

That takes me back. I remember sitting a...Oh wow... That takes me back. I remember sitting at the table with Austin while he ate his lunch. It was just he and I, and I asked him, "Is that good Austin?" He replied with "Is that good, Austin?" He had a very extensive vocabulary, but that didn't seem right to me - especially since he did it often. I am glad you had it checked out - and even happier it stopped!<br /><br />Defensive? Please meet Maven, circa 1999. Intrepid was three, and people were telling me flat out that his behaviour wasn't normal. I refused to listen to them - any of them - because my child was perfect in my eyes. And he still is perfect, but he also happens to have a diagnosis that could have been found much sooner if I hadn't been so stubborn. That's why I said something to you. I didn't want you to look back and say "why didn't anyone say anything?" Because heck, people said something to me and I STILL ignored it for a long time! *sigh* :PThe Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871961076874683588noreply@blogger.com
