Allison hasn't stuttered in 3 days.
I'm confused, but hopeful that it was just a phase. It got so bad last week that I didn't think she'd speak normally ever again. I was going crazy on the inside thinking the worst possible things. Then she just stopped.
I'm still going to have her evaluated, if the school ever gets in touch with me.

No response
So I have now left 4 messages with the district to try to get an evlauation set up for Allison's stuttering. No one has called me back yet. I'll call again today.
It's hard to listen to your child not be able to speak fluently. I'm going to keep on doing what I can to get her some therapy, and in the meantime, I'm going to try to be positive and hope that as quickly as this came on it will vanish. I'm not putting all my faith in the hope that this just goes away on its own though.
In the meantime, all the leaves are falling off the trees and I'm counting down the days until I can decorate for Christmas. 22 more days as of now.
We're going to do Christmas morning downstairs this year because of the size of the basement and the fact that most of the toys will wind up down there. So this is fun because I have that much more space to splash red and green Christmas cheer around!
All the shopping for the girls is done. I'm sure I'll find more stuff here and there, like stocking stuffers, but the bulk of their gifts is finished. Now to just do the other kids, parents, the secret santas and Joe.

Suttering
Allison has begun stuttering. It started at the end of September or Beginning of October; can't recall exaclty. It has gotten much worse though. Just this morning, on the 3 minute ride to Kathleen's, the beginning of every sentence was met with long repetitions. E E E E E E Ethan swallowed Emma's birdie. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah He coulda choked, mommy. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma mommy, I'm talking to you. E E E E E E Ethan swallowed Emma's birdie.
I was almost in tears by the time I got to Kathleen's house.
So I called the district again. I'm supposed to receive a call back. I just want her to be evaluated through school, and then if they cannot do anything for her, I will hire a SLP on my own.
I'm worried sick over this. I don't want her to have any unusual struggles in life. Life is full of enough without having a speech disorder.
