Do you ever think your 2 year old toddler talks a lot (not sentences, but words) and loudly?! Just wondering what's 'normal'

[harkharkhark]

I've always known DS would be chatty. And in the last couple of months, as his language has developed - lots of 'naming' and some 2/3 word sentences but nothing mind blowing - and it's both wonderful BUT exhausting. And his voice is loud.

Nursery, where he goes a couple of mornings a week, have told me he's a 'chatterbox' several times - and I wondered if this resonated with anyone else? I look at the other boys and they seem so much less chatty and I wonder if he is too much for them?

Seems a strange thing to say, because he's totally adorable but just quite vociferous...

My 2.3 yr old ds talks a lot in a noisy way. He's noisy full stop really

But has 2 older siblings and 1 of them is really, really loud so no surprise tbh

Lovely though!

I know, it is lovely. And he's gorgeous

But it's full on - especially since there's a lot of repetition at this stage - words being said over and over.

I hope he doesn't alienate the other kids his age because of it. I have no idea what the norm is with boys.

My daughter is 2 next month and NEVER shuts up and is also very loud, she seems to get louder if she knows i'm not listening!! so your not alone!!

Yes, lots of repetition

Ds says "why" to absolutely everything

"ds, dinner time"

"why?"

"aw, look at the lovely cat"

"why?"

"it's a cold day today"

Etc

Our eldest did this in waves between 2 and 3. So for several weeks he would commentate literally EVERYTHING that he did. Wouldn't shut up for more than 5 seconds all day. And then it would all quieten down for a bit. And then it would start again, but doing something slightly different like talking to his toys as if they were people constantly (this stage was embarrassing as he was often telling them things that we had told him, mimicing us brilliantly, but telling them off etc - nursery must have thought all we ever did was tell him off!). Then it died down for a bit and then it came back as just wanting to have conversations the entire time, about absolutely anything. Real stream of consciousness stuff. And whenever my husband or I said anything he was say 'Mummy, daddy says........' as if we needed a translator to talk to each other. Entertaining but exhausting!

We used to call that age the "Wet wimbledon commentator stage" they all could talk for England on nothing.

Yep sounds normal for here especially the volume!

Mine talks all the time..

Specialist subjects are:
The location of the cat
The location of the other cat
Speculation on who might have done a stinky poo.
Can she have the phone to play the 'frog' game.

That's it.

Lool its normal my first son And daughter used to be so eager to talk they both developed stutters going onto 3 years old. I had to tell them to calm down but they wouldn't. Doc said it was normal for kids who speak a lot before their years. Sure enough before nursery age they grew out of it.

I have a 2 year old as well, and she repeats herself, I've noticed she's loud around her siblings but if its just me and her little sister she's not.

Her latest word is because, so it goes anywhere in the sentence not always in context:
I want toast because
Outside because (meaning she wants to go out)
Upstairs because

the cat is called a squirrel
The fox is a squirrel too
And the squirrel is of course a squirrel

Oh kids they're such darlings, your child is perfectly normal!
