Update on communication.
Well Brady has mastered the talking picture frame!! He now will crawl over,push the cup button,then bring me his cup. Then while Im getting his cup he will sit an press the cup button making it say over and over "I want my cup". The little stinker is rushing me,lol. Not only has he learned to do that,but he has now learned to press the button for food!! He goes over and presses the food side of the frame,which says "Im hungry". He absolutely loves communicating! He gets so excited when he sees that his words actually made me get up and do something for him,lol. I think he just enjoys seeing me jump when he wants me to,lol. I cant wait to get him some more frames,hes doing awsome!! It is just so amazing to watch Bradys communication skills just blossoming. I can just look at him and tell that he so understands what is going on around him,he just needs a way to express himself. There is a very bright little boy inside that little body,we just have to keep finding ways to bring him out.I am just so excited! He has also began to be able to bring things to me when I ask,it just shows that he really really gets it now.Anyway just had to update.Be back soon.

About Brady

Read Brady's Story Here   

I am 11yrs old and I have Angelman Syndrome. I may have this syndrome, but I dont let it hold me back. I love life and live it to the fullest every single day. My mom says that our research organization, Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics, is working really hard on a treatment or even a cure for me and my friends. I am thankful to have 25 words but I look forward to the day that I can carry on long conversations and talk so much that everybody has to ask me to please be quiet for a few minutes :) Anyway, mom says Im awesome and super funny and I have to agree,lol.
