....he says mama, dada if prompted, but little else. he understands us a lot - like if i say "put that back" or "can i have a kiss" or "cuddles pls" or "say sorry to big sister" (walks over and kisses her). He has a terrific sense of humour and laughs most at slapstick. If he hits his sister (or me) and i lead him to the bottom step, he stays there and looks very contrite and then gets up to hug me or his sister when i say "say sorry". So i do think his comprehension is ok.
I am not sure what to expect as my DD (now nearly 4) was talking in sentences before she was 2 - i distinctly remember as we went on hols in the Sept before the Nov she turned 2 and was saying things like "can i have the umbrella".
I don't want to overly worry as i know they progress differently (some people tell me boys speak later?) but i also don't want to ignore if i should be addressing this.
