Stuttering?

Kacy has been having a hard time getting her words out for a couple months now, and I was getting a little worried about it. When she had her 3 year appointment, the doctor said that many kids around 3 start stuttering because they have a hard time processing what they are thinking into actual words. It is kind of annoying at times because it can take her forever to get a thought out. I try to be patient and give her the time that she needs, but unfortunately in my life these days, I don't have a lot of time to be patient! She thinks it is kind of funny sometimes, and she will just start laughing when she can't get it out. Other times she gets frustrated, and just says, "I can't say it!" I hope that it is just a developmental thing that she will grow out of. She is such a little social butterfly, and I would hate to have her feel self-conscious about talking. We will keep working with her on slowing down and focusing on what she wants to say.
