HILLARD SPOKE!

Here he is in all his glory! My big 5 year old boy finally SPOKE!
Hillard is a huge Blues Clues fan, b/c he likes basic things: colors and counting.... and he loves repetitve shows.... Last night he was watching his fav. DVD (Shapes and Colors) and the song that Joe sings at the end of the colors episode Hillard sang -a-long word for word. Chris and I were in the kitchen and heard him singing...Our mouths dropped! He was making words, and putting them togther! We were so excited, we waited until he finished before we made a big deal... I am so proud it was so nice to hear what his voice sounds like... He sounds like a deaf person speaking, kind of monotoned and muffled! but he spoke! and i know a lot of autistics have whats called "Video Talk", thats when they just keep repeating what the have heard from T.V. b/c they can't really put words together themselves, BUT HE SPOKE! I heard my childs voice for the first time !!!!!!!!
