tongue tied

Today I took Constance to the doctor for a check up and for her tongue tied problem. For those of you who dont know she is tongue tied. Which means the little flap of skin under her tongue goes all the way to the tip of her tongue where most of ours doesnt go that far forward. This makes it hard for her to make some sounds when she talks. Mostly her L's and sometimes T's and D's. I think we should get it taken care of before she starts preschool though so she doesnt have any problems communicating when she gets there. She also cant stick her tongue out at all and we dont want the other kids to make fun of her for it. So the doctor is supposed to call me back sometime soon with a date to have it done. They will sedate her and the clip the skin back as far as it needs to be. They said it should not bother her much after it is done. Im just hoping this will help her speech problem. She weighed in at 35 pounds today and 37.5 inches long. That puts her in the 75% for her weight and 50% for her height. She has really slowed down on the height part lately. I weighted and measured Ivy as well today. she is 28 pounds and 34 inches long. She is in the 95% for both. Constance used to be the same way when she was Ivys age, so Ivy may start to slow down in both areas as well. We will just have to wait and see!
