I swear my son is going to read before he speaks. The kid is obsessed with letters and phonics. Today he pointed with his chubby finger to all the letters on a Huggies box that was sitting on the counter, right at his eye level. “Huh. Uh. Guh. Sss.” And yet he still has less than 20 words that he uses on a regular basis. He is a puzzle.

All of my googling lately leads me to think speech apraxia. I hope he will start speech therapy soon after his quarterly First Steps review next week. He wasn’t ready six months ago, as he wasn’t yet imitating sounds, but he is imitating the first parts of words now, so I feel like he’s ready.
