Wow, I am shocked by how rude that GP is! Just wow! I hope that he's all ok now. In regards to speaking... ummm Elijah is 21 months and he doesn't speak... well he does in his own way but he pretty much only really says Ta and Pa but he communicates VERY well using his own forms of communication... which include grabbing my hand and dragging me to where he wants me to be to show me what he wants.
