Little dude's speech

Ok so a quick update for all of you who know what life is like with my little dude. So he was evaluated at a 19 month old level for his speech, which is a full year behind. He is a very particular child who likes things a certain way, but since he can't tell you what that is, he is very easily frustrated, which almost always leads to a lovely head banging fit. Yes, I am left standing there looking like THAT mom with THAT child in Walmart. You know what I'm talking about...
Anyway, I was really concerned that this trip was going to cancel out any progress that he was making since he completely fell apart the first few days after the movers came. However, we have been pleasantly surprised and blessed to see that the opposite has happened. It's almost like this trip has forced him to be a little more go with the flow, and boosted his speech. He even has been talking to relatives and friends he doesn't know! It's awesomeness! :)
This week he has added probably 10 new words plus a few phrases. He added 3 words this morning alone! He still has a long way to go, and is going to have to figure out how to verbalize his feelings before the fits stop, but he is coming right along! Praise the Lord because I was fixin' to sell that one! Haha!
