WeRuGoing? WeRuGoing?

For any first time mom, any baby milestone is a personal achievement, even when your baby is doing all the work. I for one, freaked out when Ozzy didn't start rolling over at four months, nor walking at 8 months.

Lately, it has been this speech delay issue that a health care provider took note of at 20 months. I was a mental patient since then ( metaphorically). I was trying every trick on the book, including letting him cry until he says milk. Of course he wouldn't say "milk" and so he'd cry, then I'd cry.

A couple of days ago, my son started eating something crumbly on the bed, and I told him "Not on the bed. Not on the bed." He looked at me with understanding and left the bed alone. Surprised by his response, I turned to my husband and said, "Did he just understand me?". I was puzzled until yesterday when I asked Ozzy to " Sit properly". He put down his legs from a kneeling position from the chair and continued what he was doing.

We were playing in the yard yesterday afternoon and he started to run to the far end of the house. Naturally, I screamed "Where are you going? Where are you going?". He ran towards me shouting "WeRuGoing? WeRuGoing?" And he was so cute. He pronounced "going" perfectly.

Thank you Lord! Good job , Ozzy!
