2 year old driving me MAD

[tryingtobemarrypoppins2]

My 2years 4months DS doesn't seem to answer questions and it drives me MAD. He repeats back what I say or talks about something else! For example:

Me - "Do you want an apple?"
DS - "Apple"

Me - "Did you have a good day?"
DS - "Digger!"

Is this normal when their speech is developing? He is a very happy, highly active, busy boy but sometimes I think

Ds: mummy!
Me: Yes?
Ds: mummy!
Me: Yes?
Ds: mummy!
Me: Yes?
Ds: mummy!
Me: YES?
Ds: mummy!
Me:

Hahaha! That's hilarious. DD has been doing just that this evening (and she's three and a half - will it never end?)...

We have :
DS2: ma mammy
Me: Yes ds2
DS2: ma mammy
Me: Yes ds2, what can I do for you?
Ds2: ma mammy
Me: Yes?
Ds2: da daddy
Me: Daddy's at work
DS2: da daddy
Me : Yes, he's at work, we'll see him later
DS2: da daddy
Me: He's at work today
DS2: ma mammy..................

and so it goes on. He's nearly 2 and a bit delayed with his speech. I'm hoping for some new words soon!

In our house we have:
Me: Do you want porridge or Weetabix?
DS: Podge (= porridge)

DS: I want Weetabix...
Me: Look, Mammy's eating her porridge.
DS: Mammy eats eyes.
Me: No, Mammy doesn't eat eyes, Mammy eats porridge.
DS: Mammy eats eyes...and cake

?????

I love all these posts - it has made my evening joyous! Thank you!
I can't wait until my DS starts talking (really).

Tonight it was

dd1: mummy poop poop (giggle)
me: I am not poop poop
dd1: YES YOU ARE poop poop
me: okay dd1, mummy poop poop
dd1: nooooooooooo - you're not poop poop you're pomp pomp
me: (in vain attempt to get one over on her): no dd1 is pomp pomp
dd1: I'm not pomp pomp ....wahhhhh....I'm not........I'm dd1.....sob

me: would you like to watch peppa pig?

Distraction complete - and breathe!

today while out shopping DS proclaimed 'MUMMY DONE A POOOOOOOOOO!!!'

He then started spitting on his hand and wiping it on me.

At bed time:
DS: Mummy. Need you!
Me: Go to sleep
DS: Mummeeeee. Neeeeed you.
Me: Go to sleep!
DS: Mummmeeee. Neeeeeeeed yoooooou.
Me: Go to sleep!!
DS: Mummmeeeee. Neeeeeeeeeeed yoooooouuu.
Me: Go to sleep
DS: Mummmeeeee. Neeeeeeeed yoooooouuu!!!.
Me: Go to sleep
me: GO TO SLEEP!

Mummmeeeee. Neeeeeeeed yoooooouuu.
Mummmeeeee. Neeeeeeeed yoooooouuu.
Mummmeeeee. Neeeeeeeed yoooooouuu.

DS 5 still can't answer questions!! Classic tonite:

Me: Do you want a drink of OJ?

DS @ remember when we....15 minute explanation of the route to a restaurant who we went with where we sat what we ate and you guessed it - the OJ he had with the cocktail decorations!!!

What he meant and I eventually extracted from him - yes please mummy and can I have it like a cocktail with a curly straw!!!

but then again I've answered his questions of can I have a chocolate with please put your school shoes on it's time to leave so it's not really surprising!!!
