My lazy chewer...

Who knew? I took Graden in for his 2 year shots and check up. In the questions the Dr was asking it turns out the dude has a speech delay. It is not a surprise to us. He has a very limited vocabulary and signs the other part of the time. He is very stubborn and gets his point across any way he can. But this was the really interesting part. She asked about how he chews his food? I was taken back and had to think. Then it came to me that at least a few times a week he spits food back onto his plate, or in my hand. Carrots, meat, tough bread, basically, he is a lazy chewer. Which is also a sign that his jaw and mouth muscles are not developed. He also has his mouth open a lot. He has a somber face. It's something we have all laughed about! Ooppss! I am not worried. He is still on medicaid and they pay for speech therapy. It is just crazy how you put things together when a few specific questions are asked! He is a trooper! Before you know it I will be posting about how I would pay money to have him quiet!
