Question about speech therapy. Did you decide this was needed or did E's doctor recommend? Did you use someone privately or through the state?

It has been suggested by several people my boys may benefit from speech therapy. Not yet sure as to my thoughts on the matter. I go back and forth. I will be discussing this with their pediatrician in a few weeks, so was just curious as to your experience.

I am loving that baby picture. So squeezably soft he looks! Oh ,and I'm glad you had pizza and not chicken for dinner the night the baby fowl came to you!
