Fluency (Stuttering):

I wasn't able to do this as I forgot to calendar it.  Another concern, may have been sub-conscious, my son has a hearing and speech delay.  I live with watching and supporting him each day.  Some of these interactions are difficult, some comical.  I would never have him think that I was either mocking or making fun of him. I know that he is very self-critical and always tries his best and please those around him.

This is an important exercise though.  I don't think that most people generally give it much thought and would be surprised at some of the reactions and/impatience shown them by clerks, waiters, or other professionals.  I am glad that Eli has made and continues to make both remarkable strides and improvements.  Many, on short acquaintance, have no idea of any disability or seemed lacking at all.  I can hope, work and pray that this continues, relying on the blessings, which both or each of us have received. There's definitely hope.  It is a matter of doing our best and through continuing to do better, each and every day.
