An interesting phenomenon

Now that Chance's language is growing by leaps and bounds, we are helping him more with the pronunciation of words. If we say a word to Chance, whether to give him a new vocabulary word or bring his attention to how the word is said, Chance can usually repeat it back really well.

Enter the process of growing up. Chance pulled (he earned this tooth loss) his third tooth out from the very front of his top row of teeth. Now, with some words, it is hard to know if Chance has made a speech error, or if the gaping hole in his teeth is to blame for a mispronunciation. It is quite funny. This development should ensure that the speech therapist at school does not get bored while working with Chance. They have been working with speech errors during their sessions together.

Chance looks a little different now too:)
