He is losing his words. Granted, he only had a few: uh oh, up, all done, Elma (elmo)….but they are gone. Or nearly gone. He used to say ‘Uh-Oh’ forty times a day. I do not think I have heard that in a month. Up…maybe I have heard that once last week. Elma I think he said at yesterday, but then would not repeat it. All done…that has been gone for over a month.
We were at least happy to have recognized this before our son had much to lose. We were happy not to have a child with a fifty word vocabulary who pointed to pictures and called me “mommy” and wake up to having a child who could do none of that. However, the loss of even these few words has been harder to bear than I could ever imagine.
I am mourning the loss…
