Almost all consonants pronounce the wrong ones, replacing them with simple ones. It is not necessary to sound the alarm if the crumb misses syllables in words or sounds or adds extra ones. Someone starts to speak earlier, someone later - this is all individually. By the age of three, from 300 to 800 words can be counted in the child’s dictionary. But the speech is not always clear to others, the pronunciation is also far from the norm. In the lexicon there are almost all parts of speech. He easily builds sentences of three or four words.
