So I have always wondered why Cy's tongue looked strange to me. She can pull it to the side in this strange way that I've never seen before, and it almost looks forked in the middle. I honestly just thought it was weird, and left it at that. Until...my friend had a baby in February. After a month of painful, bleeding breasts, and being told there was nothing they could do. That nothing was wrong. She started looking at tongue tie websites. She figured out that he was in fact tongue tied. Then she sent me the link. Holy Shit! There was a picture of a tongue just like Cyan's. It's never bothered her or her nursing, so I really don't have any plans to have it clipped. Her tongue it not even that pulled in.
Here is the kicker part. I was telling my husband about it. He then stuck out his tongue. He is more tongue tied than she is! No wonder his mom complains about the hell breastfeeding was for her! He has often complained that when he sticks out his tongue it hurts. I honestly never put it together. He even laughed that he has said many times that he would love to just cut that skin under his tongue. Which is really what would help. I don't foresee him doing that at 30 years of age, but it's just crazy to figure something like that out after all these years. Oh the things you learn.

That is slightly funny, Jon is horribly tongue tied and cannot stick out his tongue at all! Evan was clipped at a couple of weeks and Willow in the hospital (as you know) but I have to say, I do not recall noticing Cy's tongue... hmmmm
