All through kindergarten L could not pronounce his name correctly, the tricky tongue placement in the “L” sound….worse too because our last name also starts with L. Other letter combinations were and still are a work in progress. At first, I only worried that he would start to feel self conscience about his speech. He does not, but instead his speech difficulties made spelling very difficult for him. Because he couldn’t pronounce the words correctly, he also could not spell the words correctly. Last summer, for the first time he was finally able to say his name correctly, and now in the 1st grade he has been seeing the speech therapist regularly with very good results. L has a really great teacher and a “best friend”, he really loves school. For the most part, all of my big worries have been resolved. (Until second grade.....)
But then there are the little things. I worry that he will find out things that I don’t want him to find out yet. Such as Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, and…..Chuck E. Cheese's.
Absolutely terrifying…..
