At 2 1/2 years old, you had speech therapy sessions twice a week at your pediatrician's recommendation. Although you were the first to reach the walking/running milestone among your siblings, you weren't the most enthusiastic and articulate at speaking in your second year. But these past two weeks, I've noticed quite a difference in the way you greet Mommy when I get home from work.
Before, you used to "fake cry" and throw a quick tantrum when you see me at the door. Now, you just give me a big smile while you say "Mommy!!!" I'M SO PROUD. I don't know if it's the speech therapy working or you simply learning words at your own pace. I just know that everything is going to be all right with your speech development, in God's perfect time.
So in learning to talk, please don't be pressured or feel that we are rushing you. Take your time, Francis. After all, no college or job interview is going to ask you at what age you first learned to speak.
Love,
Mommy
P.S. To be fair to daddy, you were able to say DADDY a few days earlier before MOMMY :-)
