Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Hi everyone. When I was speaking to today, I was telling her a story about my 3 year old apraxic son, . She suggested I post the story here. One night, around Christmas time, I was putting to bed after he watched his favorite movie, belle's wish. If you haven't seen this movie, it is a Christmas story about a little boy named who can't talk. As I tucked into bed, he seemed really sad so I asked him what's wrong. He said something that I couldn't understand. I was trying really hard to understand what he was saying but couldn't. I finally asked him to " show me, " he ran and got the movie and pointed to the boy, , front cover. He said, " Like me. " I said, " Yes, the little boy in the movie has the same name as you. " shook his head yes and then with the saddest little face he said " no talk right. " It wasn't easy to understand but he persisted and I finally got what he was saying and what it meant. It was profound! My 3 year old son was telling me that he knows he doesn't talk " right. " My heart just broke in a million pieces. My little boy has so much to say and can't. I spent about 10 minutes talking to him and reassuring him and then he fell asleep in my arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
