Well it started off as a rocky morning,but it did get some better throughout the day. I printed out some simple words such as,maw maw,mom,dad,eat,cup,etc. I put them in magnectic picture cards and added velcro to make them stick better,and stuck them on the inside of the door so brady could reach them. Anyway I spent all day pointing to the words,saying them to Brady,and getting him to touch them. I kept repeating him what each word was,and showing him some of the objects listed. So anyway he started trying to open the door,and I said Brady where are you going. He reached down and grabbed the word maw maw and handed it to me,lol lol. I said oh are you going to maw maws house,then he reached over and grabbed the word yes!!!!!! I was cracking up,jumping up and down,saying way to go Brady. And of course he just thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Its so funny because we have tried pictures before,just never gave him enough credit to learn to recognize simple words,but he is doing just that!! I cant wait til he learns the rest of the words now,I know the little bugger can do it. Im so very proud of him. He seems to be learning something new everyday,and so do I,lol.

    Hi!

    My name is Sophia and I live in Sweden, in a small town called Falköping. I just want you to know that I'm so grateful that you are charing your experiences. It´s wonderful to read that Brady is recognizing written words! I have a two year old little angel myself, named Lukas. It gives me and my family a lot of hope about the future when we are reading about your beautiful sun. We know that it will be tuff to have a little angel in our lives, but most of the time we are really, really proud of him and we have learned not to take anything for granted.

    Lots of hugs
    from
    Sophia Engström

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.
