The first one happened after his summer school session. We were sitting on the couch and I said, "Bronson did you have fun at school today?" He smiles and proudly yells, "YES!" I then step out on my limb..."Bronson what did you do at school today?" He says "I play with ipad!" I was so shocked and excited! I said, "You played with ipad at school?!" He was equally as shocked and excited that I understood him, and he repeated..."Yes! I played ipad at school!" We repeated this over and over. It brought tears to my eyes, how communication was being bridged.
Today as we were leaving the YMCA, I asked Bronson, "Bronson what did you do at the Y?" He says, "I play air hockey!" WOW. I couldn't believe it. I responded to him, as we walked back to our car,..."Oh wow, that sounds like a lot of fun!"
To most, these conversations are common place. But for us, this is a huge accomplishment and an excitement, that I am having a CONVERSATION with my son. A dialogue back and forth, that so many take for granted, but oh what a beautiful thing.
