Lex was an early talker and has always had
\n an impressive vocabulary for his age. He has been frustrating
\n me lately though because his enunciation has gone from
\n “acceptable for a toddler” to downright unintelligible. Maybe
\n it’s because I usually understand him so he doesn’t bother
\n trying anymore? I’ve been working with him on looking at people
\n when he talks to them (he prefers to look at anything but the
\n person he’s talking to) and using people’s names. Now I have to
\n start getting him to speak more clearly — like he used to!
\n It’s interesting to see him with other kids though. For a long
\n time he was ahead of the crowd, but now a lot of the kids are
\n speaking very clearly, using people’s names, saying please and
\n thank you, and sounding like little people. Suddenly my little
\n guy isn’t leading the way! It’s a shocker, I know. I’m not even
\n concerned with that so much as suddenly I can’t understand a
\n lot of what he says. :\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
