     A few weeks ago, Katie from Playing With Words 365 asked me to write a guest post for her blog.  I
     wrote a piece on pacifier use...When I worked in Early Intervention, I was very anti-pacifier.  Then I had
     a baby with reflux who blew all of my past thinking out of the water.  This is scheduled to post on Katie's
     site on Monday.  Be sure to check it out!


Oh 'Appy Day!

     Childhood Apraxia of Speech."  Leslie's book has been featured and reviewed on several blogs.  We'll
