Does your Child Stutter?

Over the last month I've noticed my little one, Alivia, stuttering quite a bit.  At first I didn't think anything of it, but as it started to worsen and become more frequent I grew concerned.  In order to establish whether she had control over it, I would remind her to take her time and think about what she wanted to say before she said it.  This seemed to help.  When I reminded her, she would pause for a good 5 - 10 seconds and then out her statement would come stutter free!  This eased my mind a bit.  Of course, being a first time parent, over protective, and a worry wart of sorts, I put a call into her Pediatrician anyway.

It’s an Instagram kind of day!

Alivia had her two year doctor’s appointment today!  Luckily for us both she wasn’t due for any shots!  HOORAY!  I just hate bringing her in to get shots (it rips my heart out)!  Oh and, get this, children two and over can now have the flu vaccine via a mist administered through the nose!  No shot, no tears!  I think that calls for another HOORAY!  Anyhow, I’m happy to report she is doing really well both physically and developmentally!  Go Alivia!
