Cym,
I don't see the harm in requestiong that your son be protected from waisting his time in that particular instance.
But yes, I have several moment that live in my memory: My favorite was walking in on this scene from daycare, age 1.5 to 2.5, not sure exactly-
The teacher, a very nice person, was holding up DS's sippy cup.
DS was moaning, "Mau-gah! Mau-gah!"
Her: "SAY WA-TER!" while she dangled the cup.
DS:(whining now) Mau-gah! Mau-gah!
I was so upset, and I'm sure that whatever I said and did next showed every ounce of that upset. Something defensive of his ability to communicate - that's for sure. I wish I hadn't been so easy to scare back then. ((shrug and red face))
He's still a bit lazy with his diction, and wants to talk while eating, which besides being gross, is almost impossible to understand. Of course if he were clearly enunciating DH and I would be trying to train him to sound, "regular." ((shrug))
((hugs))
