The spitting game wouldn't be so cute if it wasn't also progress. As I have been taught by the speech therapists anything that you do that you can get Will to imitate or repeat is good for learning speech because it is the development of 'turn-taking' and that is what all speech is based on. So we take turns spitting all over each other:)
Here is a little peek at Will's dancing skills! The boy loves to groove:)
I also wanted to thank everyone again that supports DSACO and the Buddy Walk. Tonight at our New Parent Support Meeting I was reminded of why that organization is so important to me. Catching up with all the families that we have met this year and celebrating all of our little's accomplishments makes me feel not so alone and really pretty proud of our journey. It is a great organization and a wonderful group of people and it feels good to be able to share our ups and downs with others that have walked the walk and get that it is a major accomplishment that Will took a sip from a cup. They all cheered:)
There was a new couple there tonight that have not yet brought there baby with an extra special chromosome into this world. She will be here in a couple months. It was amazing to me that they had the courage to come to one of our meetings and it was so great for all of us to be able to congratulate and hug them and possibly make their journey a little easier to start:)
