Being mom for a child with language delay

This post is not about baking this time. It's more of like sharing you what it's like being a mom to my precious little one.

While I'm writing this post, my son is beside me. We just had a long day of activities and interaction-oriented playing. The picture above was taken yesterday when we went to east coast and play. 

My son now at 2.5yrs and still not talking. He's also not as social as other kids his age like his supposed to. I noticed that when he's still 18 months and I went to have him checked by a specialist. Though they can't diagnose yet if he has autism, but they said he is showing signs.

We are doing early intervention to help him develop his social and language skills as advised by the doctors to avoid those fearful meltdowns. Meltdowns are usually caused when kids can't express their needs/wants. So we have to work on that. Lots of playtime that requires engagements to develop eye contact are required. Meaning you have to do a lot of floor time activities and talk to him often face to face and very close. And you know how it feels when you do all the talking and you don't get any responses? very very despairing at times. And I have to do that every night after I get home from the office battlefield. It's very tiring I know but I can't back down and give up. Doing so means giving up on my son. 

Whoever is reading my post, I hope you include us in your prayers. Not really wishing for a miracle but at least to make things bearable for all of us in the family. I know God won't give us anything we can't handle so I guess this is something he thinks I can manage.
