That is so great. I have to say that my son will be 5 in May and he

says the same thing to me all the time, no bus and no school. He loves

going to school but he always says that. Dylan was the same way as well

as far as he would repeat what we would say even to a question. Now he

answers. Just last night his grandma asked him over the phone " do you

want to come to grandma's house? " and Dylan said to her OK. Then he

gave the phone to me and said " Mom, stay here, I go get it. " He then

went to the closet and got out his suitcase. So funny.

Subject: Bragging and Question

Hi Everyone,

I need to brag about a major accomplishment in Adam's speech. Ever since

Adam has started saying words, he has mostly used them to echo us. He

can say anything when repeating us, but will not respond appropriately

to a question. Yesterday, I was taking him out and his mom said " Bye

Adam " . He turned around and looked at her and said " Bye Mommy. " Then he

looked and me and said " Let's go " We were so happy. His normal response

to Bye Adam would be to say Bye Adam, so I think this is a major brag.

This morning he was running around the house saying " No Bus - No

School " . The words are finally coming.

Now the question: Adam has a huge problem with loud noises in particular

baby crying. When his cousin Mia is over - almost every day - and she

starts crying - every time she doesn't get her way (spoiled) - Adam will

start to cry and either hit himself or bang his head on sometime. We

were at Applebee's the other day and Mia started to cry because another

table got food and she didn't, and Adam hit his forehead on the table so

hard I was expecting blood. Has anyone else experienced this kind of

behavior? Any suggestions who be appreciated.

It is so exciting to see these accomplishments! Congrats Adam! Sorry, I don't

have any suggestions about the noise issues.

That is so great Donna! One day soon, his speech delays will all be in the past

and you will have to think back at all this time you and his mom worried if he

would ever talk!

In your question...I wonder if Adam is having some sensory issues? It sounds

as though the noises are getting to him. However, if it is just Mia crying that

sets him off, it could be that he doesn't like Mia to cry.

What does everyone else think?

I know Charlie Hart does not like for the baby to cry. He was

present at his birth and although his cheeks were rosy and he was

grinning, when it came time for the " family picture " , he was scared

to death of the baby.

Now, if the baby is crying, he acts " nervous " and tries to get the

baby quiet in any form or fashion.

As far as hitting his head...no, he does not do that, but people

handle stress in different ways. (?) I do know that the neural

pathways are different in any form of DS. My recommendation is go to

the bookstore and get a book to read together about " a baby crying "

or " a baby sibling crying " . (especially since he is becoming so

verbal) Perhaps get one that shares feelings about the baby crying.

That sounds GREAT about him responding and conversing. I am so happy

for you in that sense. I think a good children's book is the key to

help you. When all else fails, then come up with something new.

(Maybe if the first does not help, well... here I go rambling again,

BUT perhaps you should overexpress some of your feelings....yes,

like play cry and see what his response is. While doing so, talk

about how you felt~hurt, hungry, sleepy~ Maybe if he sees it

is " okay " to cry, then he won't be so stressed.)

I think you and Kristy have hit on something. All of this time we are thinking

that the sound hurts his ears or head and now I am thinking that he just doesn't

like when someone crys. Today his mom had a parent/teacher conference and the

teacher mentioned that there is a boy in the class that cries a lot and Adam

will cry too if he is crying. I will try your idea about the book and let you

know how it works

Thanks

Katy does not like it when a baby cries either, or any little one. We were

shopping the other day at Wal-Mart and this little one just kept fussing and

hollering and it really bothered Katy.

Oh that is wonderful. I am so glad to hear Adam is talking. I am sorry but I

have not encountered the other problem.
