Today, Lori, a licensed speech pathologist is answering a question about pacifiers in their relation to language development. And since my daughter, Mazzy is more than a fan of her binky/paci/soothie/nukky/whatever-you-want-to-call-it-as-long-as-it-is-in-her-mouth-ifier, I am all ears…

What could be cuter and more innocent, we thought, then sticking all the babies in the tub together?

If the response to yesterday's post is any indication, nobody gives a crap about my vacation anymore.
