My son was and still is like that. I remember when he was that young we drove to South Wales (a good 5 hours) and had hoped he would fall asleep, but no, he talked the whole way, the whole 5 hours, always adding more and more questions. If its any comfort, he is very clever and doing brilliantly at school, now he's 11. He still asks loads of questions, so I sometimes do the same back to him to keep him on his toes. He soon gets the message! By the way are you really 27 months pregnant?

Somewhere on MN as we read there is someone bemoaning their two year old's lack of language.

Not sure how to break it to you but ds is 6 and he still talks constantly. He doesnt even stop when he is asleep. You learn to stop listening, which means you often miss the important bits

haha at 27 months, poor you first and sorry but hahaha too at your DS talking all the way to Wales, cathycat!! My laughter is sympathetic though as I have a DS just the same. He is 9 soon. As cathy says I do think all the talking helps their development, DS is bright and his teachers are always saying his general knowledge is very good indeed - which I actually give DH and myself a huge pat on the back for, as DS is severely dyslexic so not much of his knowledge comes from books, it's almost all from conversing with DH and I!!!

I think we should try to remain positive about our talkative boys and remember, NONE of them can speak after about 14/ 15 - it's just grunts then

Just commenting tonight that my DS1 (3.2) does NOT stop talking OR moving about. It's tiring just watching him. He doesn't nap anymore but when his brother naps, I put a DVD on for him to have some quiet time, even then, his 'quiet' time consists on constantly wriggling about on the sofa, moving up, down, across the living room to watch the TV. But that's his quiet time. He is very bright, very funny and mischievous. Thank goodness DS2 is his opposite...

My DD is 2 years 1 month and talks incessantly too! I get a running commentary on everything, plus questions and singing. When I'm busy she is talking to DP, DS (11 weeks) or her toys!
It can drive me crazy but is also quite endearing - it's helped since DS has been born as I can't play with her much (BFing) but can engage with her by chatting instead.

angel1976 · 25/04/2011 22:13

firstsupermum I do feel your pain. DH is always complaining 'why is DS1 the only child in this restaurant who can't sit still / stop playing with his cutlery etc etc?' MIL also sometimes comment about DS1's lack of table manners in terms of his not being to sit still... I think sometimes 'he is only 3...' And it's not as if we don't do anything, we do tell him to sit nicely etc but it's almost as if he has no impulse control... DS2 is quite the opposite, took him to his first 'play' at 14 months old and he sat on my lap the whole show, no wriggling about, no complaining, no nothing! Have taken him to a few more shows since and he is happy just to sit on my lap and watch. No chance in hell DS1 would have done so at that age... Do you know you are definitely having a DS2? Two DSs are great, I love having two boys. Hell on earth at first but now, they are so cute together. They have their moments fighting but it's so sweet when they look out for each other... :)

angel1976 yes I am having DS2, I was thinking i will be mad with a bout of them, as one is driving me mad already, my DH is the same, i try to keep calm and sort out the problems out without making comment, specialy that i am already not happy about it, but when i am with my DH, he is all the time complaining.
you are the same as me, in the first months of my pregnancy i was hopping for a girl, but now, i am thinking a boy will be better for to play and support each other.

firstsupermum 2.1 is a difficult age. My DS2 was only 20 months old when DS2 so the good thing is he doesn't remember a time without his brother but it was really hard the first year... Until he got closer to 3 years of age where his understanding became much better, things got easier as I could leave him for a while, explain to him I needed to do something for DS2 (put him down for a nap etc) and he would listen. Before, he would just stand at the stair gate and screamed the house down while I was trying to put DS2 to sleep. Oh, the joys! At least now, I can put the TV on and he will stay in the living room and be quiet for a little bit while I put DS2 down for a nap. It won't feel like that when you are going through it but your DS1 will get older and he will learn to behave better. Until they get closer to 3 years of age, I think it's hard for them to understand their own behaviour etc. Now at 3.2, DS1 will tell me to 'shhhh, DS2 is sleeping' when I talk too loudly for his liking while he is watching his programme . Two brothers are definitely special. They love each other so much. DS1 will bully DS2 but god forbid anyone else tries to do it. You should see him defend his brother at soft play if someone tries to take DS2's turn at something. DS1 shouts really loudly 'IT'S MY BROTHER'S TURN! IT'S MY BROTHER'S TURN!' And he always tells us how much he loves his brother... :) And how cute it is when he uses a 'baby voice' to talk to his brother!

I have a 4 y o ds and 2 y o dd who both talk constantly. It is exhausting! I take them out a lot so the can corner other people to talk to. Luckily they are starting to talk to each other now.
