That's fantastic! That first spontaneous I love you...awww. It took Ben a lot longer to start making progress (1 year of 1 hr/wk with no progress, then a diagnosis of apraxia, a change in approach, and almost a year of 2.5 hours a week with 2 different therapists before he really started talking), but after more than 3 years of therapy he's talking up a storm and is even taking a 6-week therapy break this summer! I can't imagine not having speech therapists in our life, LOL.
