Am I going mad??

So, my son is 2 years old. He doesn’t speak at all and we currently have a referral for speech therapy. He doesn’t even say mama, dada, no words at all.

Before bed tonight I was playing with him, I took his bottle and pretended to drink it as he wouldn’t go to sleep, clear as day he said “give it back” , I kept on playing with him and he didn’t say anything else. Am I hearing things or did he really speak 😳

I think it's not unlikely that he said 'give it back'. Maybe a person who only feels the need to speak when it matters. I'm sure this is a phenomenon. I'm going to look it up...

Wow, that's brilliant. Take his bottle again tomorrow, see what happens.
