No one should be shocked to know I'm an SLP. I happen to be incredibly good at grammar, language, and I think,writing. Honestly, it's my thing. It is so natural to me and always has been. It's been a huge learning experience to have a child with a speech and language disability. It's hard for me relate to. Speech and language come so easily to me.
Jace though. My little guy. Even though he is mechanically inclined, he is also really good verbally. Okay, granted, many things he just repeats, but he also comes up with pretty brilliant things on his own. Sunday he declared that the plate of sausage looked like a campfire.
Listen people.
"The sausage looks like a campfire."
That is a similie!! I don't know what grade they start teaching similies, but it's not preschool, and he just rolled one off of his tongue.
He also said yesterday,
"A car is faster than a train."
This is not only a comparison, but the language involved is highly complex. Okay okay, I know. I'm being an annoying proud mom, but comparitives, particularly ones said with this complex format are not commonplace at 3.
He is so dang smart and I'm so proud. Now....if we could just stop his incessant screaming!!
We heard a baby in Target today upset and crying. A mom in front of me with kids my kids' age how soon we forget and how grateful we are that it isn't our kid! I wanted to relate, but honestly, Jace still screams.......like ALL THE TIME, like that. It's just now, he has words to accompany the crying. I think it's just his brilliance, but even though I believe that, it is still VERY challenging as a parent.
