Boy how time flies! It seems like just TODAY that I was holding my little, chubby baby Ash! So long ago, so naive to what bringing this new life into the world would entail. But I will say that despite the challenges that come with this little man, I wouldn't have it any other way!
Ashton started home therapy this last October. Then once he turned 2 years old he was eligible to begin school. Since then he has improved tremendously! This is constantly being mentioned to me from the friends and family that only see him occasionally. I see it as well. He has learned some sign language, and despite his frustration with having to communicate with his chubby little hands, he still tries and will on command. He loves to interact and play with others, he mimics others, he loves to play with his cars, draw, and watch TV...still, he now responds to his name when he wants to, he takes me around the house to show me his wants, he has his own type of communication that only a mom could understand...and I do, he makes eye contact and communicates well with them, he gets so excited to be in an area with lots of people, and best of all...he loves to cuddle with me, tease me and give me kisses, something that I was told he may never do.
In a nut shell, I love my Ash and he loves his Mommy!
