We had him tested at a Children's Hospital back in October when he was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes, and the lady that ran the testing noticed that the little flap of skin under his tongue was a little short for his age, and she said that can be what is contributing to his issues with speech. We have noticed that he can not curl his tongue up as if to try to touch it to his nose too... and we think that has something to do with this short piece of skin under his tongue as well. We just got him a bunch of things from Discovery Toys, as well as a computer program to help him with his speech skills, so I am sure if this is *not* a physical problem issue, then between the speech therapy he will be getting at Head Start, as well as what we do to work with him here at home, he will improve greatly. Thank you for the comment on my blog! I will definitely check out yours! Dawn L.

I always spoke with my son like an adult, with adult words, and adult concepts. He now is in first grade with an eighth grade vocabulary. My 3 yr old daughter is already blowing him away at what she can grasp. I have always thought that the only thing limiting our children, are the limits we ourselves place them with.
