I just want to share this with you, especially as there seems to be a lot of unhappiness around today too.
Ds3 (aged 2) is, like ds1, not a very early talker. I am not worried about this: ds1 didn't say anything until 2.2yrs so ds3 is already doing better: he probably has about 30 single words, mainly not pronounced very clearly though, like ds1.
Today though, we have had 3 new words, just like that!
Firstly "mess" although he missed off the ss as he pointed to a pile of pencils scattered on the floor. When I said "Yes there is a mess, who made it?" he said "Me!" as plain as anything. Then just now, he pointed at my socks which happen to have sheep on them and said "Baa!"
It is days like this that keep you going.
Oh crikey, even as I type he is saying "Where? Where?" and when I said what are you looking for, he said "ball" and is now running to all the places I suggest he looks for it.
