My son struggles really hard with language and I struggle with not comparing his words to other children's his age. But you're right - comparison is a joy-thief. <br />Visiting from Love that Max.

Oh, your Ben communicated the same message as Anchel's daughter, what an amazing coincidence! This week, Nicholas told me in no uncertain terms that he was nervous about his dentist appointment. Right up to the minute we walked into the hospital clinic, he had his right hand in his mouth 'biting his nails' to tell me, "Mom, I'm so nervous!" No words, but we all understood, even the dentist. Sometimes gestures speak volumes and it's like Margaret Atwood says, "It's all about communicating what's in my head to your head".
