DD8 will be finished with speech once she conquers the ever elusive 'R'. It seems like we've been working on it FOREVER! Her problem is not just the 'R' sound, but also 'ar', 'or', 'ir' and 'er' sounds. I think that's what makes it so hard. If it was just the 'R', it wouldn't be so bad, but she distorts the vowels when she says them in combination. Maybe we should just move to Boston!
Good luck! and remember that you really do know what's best for your child!
