I am getting a bit concerned about dd1's speech. She is a clever, bright girl but her speech is getting increasingly difficult - for example, yesterday in the bath she was telling dh about being caught in the rain and her sentence went like this:
"Daddy, we we we (repeated approx 7 times) got, um, um, um, um (looks at me for reassurance - me: "caught") caught in the, in the, in the, um, um rain"
it is much rarer for her to complete a sentence properly than to 'stammer' in this way.
The ultimate mumsnet question now - is this, erm, 'normal'?
