In a similar vein, my youth pastor at my church growing up told me: you got through junior high, you can get through anything now!

I think of that quote often. Thanks Steve for reminding me of my strength.

Adding another option: Whitin from Amazon. I love them for my super E width toddlers feet! I tried see Kai run, stride rite. Every other wide shoe brand that came up and nothing worked except these.

I have this wooden spatula from oxo that I love. It’s the one on the right in the Amazon link below. I use Corelle dishes since they are hard to break and my kids are insane.

So one thing I want to address is the negative response to speech therapy. Therapy isn’t a negative thing. It’s not that he’s “sick” etc in some way. It’s just that all kids develop differently and there is absolutely NO SHAME in having your child see an SLP.

I have watched my own kids grow so much from working with an slp and watched my friends kids not grow because they didn’t see a “need” personally I saw an slp when I was a child due to mispronouncing words and it helped so much.

Typically the state offers early intervention as well where these services are free.

My boomer in laws definitely aren’t on reddit lol

Just going to leave this here

I wish I had one to offer! I did see some on CL and Nextdoor in the $40 price point, but that’s far from free :( I love my BOB if you decide to go with one.
