Stutters

Look at this face. You can see why it pains me that this little girl's mind races so quickly that her mouth just can't keep up. She has a very bad stutter. It has gotten noticeably worse; and she is embarrassed by it. She gets very upset by her inability to get out simple comments to her mom and I. She knows when others notice it, too. It drives her mom close to tears and I worry that it will be severely hurt her self-esteem. I can only love her only like a daddy can. I hope that soon the whole episode will be a distant memory.
