15 months of Our Dynamic Denison!

Happy 15 months Denison!!! I can't believe that it was 15 months ago from today that the Lord sent us our "Lil' bundle of Joy!" Today is a celebration of all of "Denny's Dynamic accomplishments" within the past 15 months. It was important to us that we make recognition of these precious but fleeting moments in our sons' life. Watching him learn and grown has been so exciting and fulfilling as parents. Denny has brought meaning to our lives and he keeps us so happy! When we look at him it is a humbling reminder of how blessed we are to have a family and a Father in Heaven who loves us. Denny has taught us so many Christlike attributes while capturing our hearts.

Below there are are series of four(4) videos that I recorded of Denison reading some words from flashcards and books, pointing out some of his body parts, and his love for animal sounds. As his doting parents we are extremely impressed with Denny's progress at such a young age. Denny is very advanced and has a great love for learning. Denison is talking and can repeat whatever we to say to him..Some pronunciations are clearer than others.. but it so cute and funny when he attempts words with 4 or more syllables. Our star scholar loves books and can read and understand over 100 words... actually we have lost count. My only regret is that I didn't record some of his reading and talking earlier. Denny first started to recognize and understand words from only seven months old and his vocab skyrocketed shortly thereafter. We were astounded at his brilliance. As far as the talking goes, we knew he would talk early for two reasons: 1: Without a doubt he comes from two parents who are barely ever lost for words...lol 2: Based on the"BCR" protocol we followed while I stayed home and taught Denny, I ensured I kept his motivation level up to talk by encouraging him to ask and say what he wants and not get him what I already know he wants. I also pointed out and reinforced every new object he learned or came in contact with. (He loves when he can recall something he learned! )

I'm an advocate and firm believer in applauding and praising children for their positive accomplishments and being an active parent in their lives. I do believe it does wonders for their self -esteem and confidence level. It is important to start establishing good, healthy relationships with children from a young age. Communication is key! It is important that our children know that we love them unconditionally and appreciate them for their efforts. It's not bragging or boasting but a sense of gratefulness with a dash of pride.(meaning-proud-in a positive way) My theory is that if we can continue with this attitude towards parenting, with the help of our Saviour, Jesus Christ... we just may be able to our world. After all , to change the world, change starts with the man in the mirror. I'm just grateful that man spoke to us! I speak for the both of us(W&D) when I say... I love being a parent!!

We love you Denison!!!!

We hope you enjoy the videos..Feel free to leave comments if you would like to..
