She's actually very musically inclined! She just got a little guitar and keyboard for Christmas that she has been playing with and she'll sing little songs she makes up. I have noticed that when she sings songs or nursery rhymes to her younger sisters, she doesn't stutter nearly at all. Is that a tool they teach you in therapy? I never really made the connection until reading this comment. Thank you so much! And we definitely have never ever looked down on her stuttering or interrupted her or finished her sentences or anything like that. We've always been super patient with her, and thankfully so have her friends and family. Well, except one of her younger sisters but that's a story for another time. And yes, we do tell the younger sister not to interrupt the older one but it's a work in progress.
