Language.....

Emma Sage has always had very strong language skills, both receptive and expressive. Her intelligibility gets clearer and clearer as the days roll forward.



Sometimes though, she gets talking so fast [when she is excited about something] and we {who understand her the best} even have a hard time understanding some words.



This happened the other day with Greta.



The girls were busy talking about something.....and Emma Sage replies to Greta { and she does not understand exactly what she is saying} so Greta Says "What?" to which Emma Sage restates the word....to the same result....Greta did not understand again. This went on a few times.....and then frustrated, Emma Sage grabs Greta on both sides of her face and brings her face close to hers and says it again....slowly and clearly. To which Greta bursts out laughing and Emma Sage demands her to "STOP......It's NOT funny!"



Poor Greta tried to stop her laughter......as she realized that this is a struggle Emma Sage sometimes has [clear speech] and it does bother her greatly that all of her thoughts are not always understood by others.



I think that this is the biggest thing that we deal with in regards to Emma Sage's extra chromosome.........and one that frustrates her the most.
