Last weekend I went to one of my oldest friends baby shower. It was a lovely party for her and her baby, and I was so glad I got to share in the experience with her. She looks gorgeous, and her son is already so blessed! But, it was nerve-wracking … Continue reading
Last Friday Mr. Charm was evaluated by the speech therapist. He qualified. She evaluated him on four things: expressive, receptive, articulation, and (physical) oral difficulties.
