One of the items mentioned by the nurse at the boys' 3 year well check was stuttering. The nurse said it is very normal for children at this age to stutter, because their minds are working so fast, their mouths can't keep up.
I have that problem too!
Anyway, I was telling her Ben does this. Usually he can say the entire word, he just can't get the next word out. It's different than other stuttering I've heard. It's actually gotten a little more pronounced lately, not that we are concerned.
This afternoon he was trying to tell husband something, and he was stuttering, trying to get a word out. Finally he stopped and said "I can't talk." It was funny! It didn't stop him, he kept on going. Not much will keep Ben from talking.

Ryan usually starts the first word in a sentence like a wind up toy "IIIIIII......." It is something I'm going to bring it up at their 3 year check up - I know it is common but the doctor last year suggested speech therapy at 2 if his vocab. didn't take off - it has, but he stutters and gets stuck on words all of the time. I'd rather have him do speech therapy now than have him put on an IEP for speech therapy once he is in school. It may be nothing - but I'm going to keep an eye on it.
