My little girl just turned 26 months and she can do the following :
- Expressive language : Has over 200 words and speaks in 2/3 sometimes 4 word sentences including connectors , adjective and verbs like “ bunny sitting on the train “
- Good receptive language with two step instructions at all times and she listens and responds to other members of the family .
- She is Social to some extent but it takes a while to warm her up and then she interacts well with adults and her peers ( although she still wants me close by ) She engages with kids if it is 1/1 interaction like playing with ball or on the beach but if there are lots of kids she just looks at them / what they are doing .
- She eats and sleeps like a champ so far all 12 hours and all type of food apart from scrambled eggs 🍳
- She can answer questions like (?what/where /who’s , what is mommy/daddy doing ? What color is dolly ? Where does the hat go ? What do you want ?
- Asks questions like / what’s that . What happened and what’s the sound , why are you sad / scared etc
- She can easily transition from her house to a new one without problems and she is not repetitive in any way apart from when she goes on the swing at the park and doesn’t want to get off to try other things 😅.
- Tantrum wise she is fairly good at self soothing and her tantrums don’t last more than 5 minutes .
She still tends to repeat almost verbatim what we say “ the entire phrase and I know that immediate echolalia is a ref flag and someone suggested GLP
Like when she wakes up from nap : she started saying “ it is empty “ referring to a box in her room because I told her that it was empty a while back . I know it is not typical and I wish I knew how to help her
She still makes requests with single words at times but I was told not to be overly concerned about that as long as there is combination of words into phrases.
Ps no one seems to be concerned
