TODAY WAS A VERY IMPORTANT DAY!!!!!!! JACOB GRADUATED SPEECH!!! I WENT IN AND MET WITH HIS TEACHER AND SPEECH THERAPIST AND SIGNED THE LAST PAPERS FOR JACOBS SPEECH. I lost it for a second just because it is such a great accomplishment for Jacob. He has been in speech since the age of three! That is a lot of years of speech! A lot of hours learning how to form your mouth correctly to sound out a word. I remember the many days I would cry and wonder if he was ever going to talk. Remember the day they brought up the idea "he could be autistic!". There was a pit in my stomach for a many many years JUST WONDERING! When he was younger I remember the constant anger fits he would throw because he knew what he wanted and did not know how to express it. I am just so happy that Jacob is doing so well. There is no way today that you could ever even tell that he had problems with speech. He has grown up and is so smart and talks and talks and talks just perfect. I really feel I need to throw a party but not tell everyone exactly what the party is for. Just let Jacob and his family secretly celebrate this great accomplishment. Love you Jacob! You truly are awesome!
