Did I mention that I loved this post? <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your life as it gives me hope for Elijah's future. To think I could have a similar exchange with Elijah in the future is absolutely thrilling. And also, thanks for reminding me(with your comment on Elijahland) that I can't take anything for granted, especially jumping! And, for giving me hope that his allergies might possibly be a thing of the past...in the future. Thanks Ellen, you rock. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597901803216176184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-85950110989984732452009-05-04T23:58:00.000-04:002009-05-04T23:58:00.000-04:00Love to hear that Max's vocab is expanding!

As I read about Max responding to you as you held up the cards I found myself unable to stop smiling. How exciting! Those moments, while they might seem small to others are HUGE accomplishments that prove your (and Max's) hard work is paying off. When those moments happen in the classroom I feel like my heart will explode from the thrill!<br /><br />At the same time, what you wrote about Sabrina and your amazement at her speaking abilities is a thought that often crosses my mind as well. I have a wonderful 19-month old nephew. As he acquires new skills I find myself reflecting on how miraculous it is that he is picking them up without prompting.<br /><br />As you said - whatever way children gain their skills it is beautiful to watch. Max is an awesome kid. I love his determination! Thank you for writing such a great post!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188867840527143510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-27158074632734690342009-05-04T18:04:00.000-04:002009-05-04T18:04:00.000-04:00Great post!

The kids can still hear it but it's not so irritating to all adults in a 10 mile radius that way.Caryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106769763459813759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-25652906565159633272009-05-04T12:16:00.000-04:002009-05-04T12:16:00.000-04:00Just shows you how smart the little guy is despite...Just shows you how smart the little guy is despite the fact he can't always tell you!!!AshleyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039954885402518770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-34963143176008731742009-05-04T10:19:00.000-04:002009-05-04T10:19:00.000-04:00My cousin's wife has a rule: no toys that make noi...My cousin's wife has a rule: no toys that make noise without an off switch.
