15 month check up

Today was Andy's 15 month check up. Let me share with everyone what we discussed:

He's no longer on medication.
He receives 4 therapies, 8 times a week total. We are increasing to 9.
His tone is reducing.
He's verbalizing.
He's gained a few ounces.
He's healthy.

And that's all. No talk of "milestones" or other measurements that try and push one child in front of another.

I am not ashamed. I am proud. I am not in the "milestone" rat race, and I do not believe that another parent is better then me because their child can hit those "milestones" that mine cannot.

Those "milestones" don't make the parent. Just like they don't make the child.
