As people have followed our journey with Ellington’s tongue tie, I get several phone calls or texts or emails a day from people who believe their child may be tongue tied too.

How did we diagnose the tongue tie? And, what new information did I learn that has changed the way I now diagnose it and makes me feel like I’ve probably overlooked/missed many of these ties in the past?

“Ankyloglossia”, sound familiar? It didn’t to us either- I mean yes we’d heard about it in school- but, often, like with many other things, until you’ve personally dealt with them they don’t mean as much to you.

I love my job, and I love that I am surrounded by precious little kids all day long. They make life so fun! I don’t know how people go through life and only surround themselves with adults, how boring! Kids say and do things on a constant basis, which continuously keep us entertained and smiling. [...]
