The Things I Will One Day Miss

As a speech pathologist, I have always been quite critical of the sound errors that Aiden has. I know that they are developmentally appropriate but I can't help but try to correct him. At three, it's more than common for him to not have his /th/'s. So one of our favorites is that the word something - becomes "somepin". Everyday at least ten times he says, "Hey mom, I need to tell you somepin." And though I've thought a thousand times about how wonderful it will be when he acquires that sound, today Rob and I found ourselves thinking about how sad it will be the day that he actually says "something". Our children grow up way too fast and the little moments that we cherish are gone too soon. New moments come of course and maybe that is the true joy of being a parent. Just a little "SOMEPIN" to think about, ha-ha.
