I'm doing the happy dance. Yes, I know. It's just one day. But one day is 100% better than no days!!!!! I want to scream his success from the rooftops. I could not be more proud of him.

Awesome attitude!

Totally agree!

Whoo-hoo!

Good news. We all have to keep going one step at a time but that's a big step.

That's a huge accomplishment OP. Big milestone. My son is also 4, and has ADHD with biggest issues being impulse control. Only recently has he just started using his words--and certainly not all the time--but the first time he did I probably felt a lot like you did. It fills one with hope for the future, instead of anxiety, which is the norm for most of us...Congrats OP. I bet your son feels pretty good about it too.
