It was the initial shock of having Kristen fill out an application for special education... you know, like Renee mentioned, it was a tough thing to swallow. And like a lot of you guys mentioned... with a little therapy it's probably something he'll not struggle with much. I was reminded that my kindergarten teacher thought I may be dyslexic... turns out I was just left handed! Yeah, I’m not really concerned about it.

I was going to tell you not to worry about a little speech therapy. I have students in my class (10 yr) olds, that I have been told previously had some serious speech issues (and received therapy) and I was shocked, because I noticed nothing unusual. He's a pretty quick kid- he'll do great! Glad to hear your kids love it!!! If only they had that much enthusiasm in 5th grade! =) I totally agree about the speech thing, Kristen!

I'd rather have his speech corrected now at five years old than have it be an issue later in life. Plus the teachers have been very discreet with Paul and delicate with how they handled the evaluation. All Paul knows is that a really nice lady came to help him decorate his gingerbread cookie during class (aka - the speech therapist).

Tell Paul that I had to take speech classes when I was in lower elementary too. I’m glad to hear the kids are doing well and love their teachers.

Yeah, she was labeled for a while, but she got through it. Now she is normal. Well...for the most part ;) Jacki was in speech classes too. Yeah, she was labeled for a while, but she got through it.

Hopefully the therapy will help him learn how to say everything the right way. Thanks for knowing how that initial freak out moment feels. In my head I know its really no big deal at all, but my heart wasn't happy at that moment. Now that you're mobile we so need to get together. :) thanks renee. i think its going to be ok, he has a huge vocabulary… just doesn’t pronounce a lot of letters well.
