Texting Declan 😊

Font Size

“I need to finish this run up,” I thought and pumped the speed up on my treadmill.

Within a minute, Declan plopped himself in the chair next to me with my phone, his tablet and headphones in his hands.

“Mom, how do you send a picture on your phone?”

“Who are you going to send them to?

“Daddy.”

I nodded.Β  I was breathless, contemplating the best way to explain the procedure using the fewest words.

“Do I just press this plus button thing?”

“Yes!”Β  Oh, praise the Lord, that was easy.

Declan took my phone over to the TV area, and sat down.

I finished my run, sent dressed and fed kids off to school and started my morning routine.

In the afternoon, I remembered Declan with my phone and wondered what he had sent to his Dad.

And like always, Declan’s texts brought the biggest smile to my face.

Good job, Dad.

I think we will be heading back to the Washington D.C. area sometime soon.

And I also think I know what we will be going to see 😊

  1. Too cute! He’s really good with the typing. We were just talking today about Ben going into 6th grade next year and that would be middle school for an BY kiddo. Ben is going to stay in his same class with his same group next year. The teacher says it’s a good group and since it’s an autism school they can do what they want. Anyway, my point was that Ben doesn’t type sentences. He rarely speaks sentences. He’s nowhere near “grade level” . Declan looks like he’s doing awesome!πŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸ’Œ

    1. He actually used voice to text – but he did speak the sentences and he did know how to do voice to text – so that is all good! I am happy Ben is doing so well in the class he is in now! Such a journey for him (and you!)

    1. That makes more sense – the first time I read it I was about to Google a BY kid πŸ™‚ Hahaha….Darn autocorrect!
