| Whe Wells Wea Whells By The Wea W(h)ore |
| My son has an interesting speech thang going on. He does not say an "S" if it is at the beginning of a word. Sissy=Wissy See=Wee But something plural? He totally says the ending "S." I try to help him out a little by prompting him to say a really long ssssssss. "Baby J, say sssssssissy." And what does he do? He says... sssssssss wissy. |

My middle child went through a stage where she couldn't pronounce "l" and "k" was pronounced as "t". When the cat had kittens, she greeted everyone at the door with "Wanna see Fuffy"s titties?" It did get some interesting reactions from our visitors.

ahahahaha!!! that is so hilarious! totally cute, by the way... but funny all the way!

that's okay . . . I once saw a lellow flutterby once (that's toddler for yellow butterfly).

We are going through this right now too. I'm totally cracking up since I just posted about it.
P.S I LOVE the webring! I need to get back to the battles :)

My son, who is my youngest had a similar problem. It's getting better every year. He went through a speech program at school and I was told that he would most likely grow out of it..
He would tend to leave the "T" out of words..he'd say Fruck instead of Truck..sometimes however it would sound more like Fuck..Is funny when you would hear it in a sentence..Did you see that red fuck going down the road? :D

Speech therapist chiming in...
That's totally common. A child can physically make the sound, but they have it in their little heads that "sissy" is "wissy". I bet he learns new "s" words fine, but has trouble pronouncing words he knew already.
If he's 4, he should be understandable 75-100% of the time. If it's less than that, or if you're concerned, call your local school and find out how you can have Baby J evaluated. He's got a remarkable birth history...that may affect kids in subtle ways on a longer term basis.
Good luck!!!

my lil sis used to call flowers, showers. it took a while (and a couple of baths) for us to figure out what was she going on about.
-
It makes sense me. I used to say skelington instead of skeleton.
-
-
Mine is doing that now! He just said "Mommy, wanna go to da sssss whore??" hysterical

My Mother (87) has a child (me) with the same problem. He has false teeth, I prefer to call them replacement teeth, but anyway....he avoids words that start with S.....like the plague.
LLLOOOLLL we all need to laugh.....and it sobers us to think....."I was once young, I wonder what my Mom shared about me????"
You know, I think I'll quiz her on that one. Later
