¿Dónde está la lengua?

This is my new favorite question to ask Jarem!!! It means “Where is your tongue?” in Spanish. When we ask Jarem this he sticks his tongue out at us. It is so cute! When he got home from daycare at Jen’s yesterday, he kept sticking his tongue out. This is a big deal to us because Jarem is tongue tied. Basically that means Jarem has a tight frenulum. (The frenulum is the string of tissue that attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth.) We have known this since he was pretty young and he even got evaluated to possibly get his tongue clipped when he was a baby. He didn’t end up getting it clipped so he is still tongue tied. We have wondered about whether or not we should have had it done because we have never seen Jarem stick his tongue out of his mouth. But just last night he started doing it on his own in the car on the way home from Jen’s. Our assumption is that he saw Braden and/or Emma doing it and copied them. He loves to copy what his big cousins do and we are so grateful that he is doing this. It makes us feel better knowing that he can stick his tongue out if he tries. It looks really cute when he does it because his tongue turns into a heart shape rather than pointy because the tip is held back. In any case, when we got home last night I put on this new outfit from Grammy and Kristy. With Grammy’s basketball shirt on and that tongue sticking out I think he looks like a little Michael Jordan in the making. What do you think?
