Typical speech in 2.6 year olds

Can 'owners' of 2.6 year olds tell me how your dcs talk - length of sentence, pronunciation and give me a couple of examples of typical phrases they say?

Ds has improved leaps and bounds recently and I am just wondering if he has caught up from probably being behind to more the norm.

This is not about competitive mummyness - I am just curious and want to know roughly how he is doing or whether i still need to keep an eye on things

Thanks KTNoo. I am! This morning she was singing "On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave me, five dancing bears and a doggy in a Christmas tree."

at 2.3 he can also count reliably to 13... will then say 16 17 lol, but if you prompt 14 he then get 14 15 16 17 20!

could count to 10 before age 2
