We've been at this for what feels like forever. Progress has been very slow, sometimes so much so as to be imperceptible. He has made steadier progress it seems in other sensory areas, but oral-sensory stuff has really been his biggest struggle in the sensory realm. If you have questions, let us know! We can compare notes. @Kia – We have been working on his oral defensiveness since he was like 9 months old. We’ve been at this for what feels like forever.

Isn't that the same as Cheney calling W? :-) I don't believe for a second that you are not always a good mama. I know, I've watched you. Every parent gets frustrated at times, but you are damn good Mary. You and Tim do things I know I could never do. (which is why I'm an uncle?) I hope to God that J-Man knows just how blessed he is to have you and Tim. Calling upon the power of a boob at a moment’s notice? Isn’t that the same as Cheney calling W? :-)
