people who have birthday parties for their kids in the city on the weekends in the summer have to expect lots of parents are waiting to see if they'll be around or not. Many people leave the city on the weekends and are probably trying to make it work out. [ Reply | More

stuttering is very normal especially when a dc is going through a vocab. growth spurt. My dd at the age of 3yr went through a summer of stuttering.
