Caelen Loves To Talk

Having seen how intelligent and creative Cayla is, we naturally held high(er) expectations for C. His diagnosis hit us hard and destroyed much of our wishes for the future. Ironically, C turned out to be quite a talker and that quickly filled the voids in our hearts and rekindled hopes.


C is currently obsessed with cartoons, balls and books. He loves to read and would tirelessly flip all of Cayla's books, one after another. He participates actively by spontaneously repeating some of the words we narrated, exhibiting a huge sense of achievement whenever he does that. What's more amazing is that C speaks to us in almost complete sentences (right from the beginning when he started talking at 1yo) and addresses himself as "我". How many 1yo child does that really?

Being a curious and eager learner, C expanded his list of vocabulary quickly. And this proud mama here just could not stop herself from sharing how much C has learnt so far.

Below is a clip showing his love for balls and demonstrating his ability to link words "throw" and "ball" together.

Honestly, we do not have concrete plans for C yet. But having seen his love for learning, perhaps it's time to consider the possibility of putting him in special school in the near future.
