, I totally understand your feelings. I remember crying in the

middle of a deli last year when a liitle girl , much younger then my son

LJ, turns to LJ and says " Did you wish your mommy a Happy Mothers Day?'.

I stood right there and cried and cried, thinking how my son will never

say anything on his own unless its something in his ABA trials or a word

he'll read for me off a flash card. He could say it if someone would say

to him " tell mommy Happy........... " , but I wished so hard for him just

to come to me on his own and tell me he loves me, Happy whatever day,

come on mommy let's play, etc. Well , the point of this post is to

tell you KEEP WISHING and just show all your love to , cause I know

you're trying your hardest with this diet and all and someday your wishes

could come true- MINE DID !!!!! LJ even wished me a Happy St Pattys Day

all on his own (I know they were making shammrocks in school- so I guess

thats how he knew about it). He tells me when he's hungry and if he sees

me cooking something he really likes he comes up to me and says things

like " Yummy, I like nuggets " . The best was when he went up to a Kit Kat

display in Genovese and sang " Gimme a break, Gimme a break, break me a

kit kat bar " , well that left me on my knees in Genovese crying.(no, he

doesn't eat them!!). Anyway, gotta go, and I really hope all your wishes

come true !!!!!!!
