    I think it is prob all ok, and it is just that W was so fast that comparisons feel slow iykwim.
    I am glad you are getting it checked out though, you have had concerns for a little while so better to be on the safe side.

    J is 22 months now - his speech is good, I dont think it is as AMAZING as N was (though he had caught up heaps, he was slower than N on that stuff to start). He can count to 10 (rote) but sentences are more like 2 word sentences. he can name colours and pick them out, animals names and sounds, sing lots of songs, some books fill in the gaps. thats my honest response - but he is advanced apparently on that stuff! physically boht my bopys have been slower as you know, but J is WAY ahead of where N was - close to running, lots of climbing etc. sleep wise - J sucks!! (on that he in on a par with N at the same age LOL)

    best of luck - look fwd to hearing how she goes w the testing.

    Hey Art,
    Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit frustrated and upset. Sounds to me like you have 2 very different little personalities on board! So it would be hard not to compare the two, especially as your son might fill the gaps for her a bit?
    Miss A has always been a more quiet one, and she did have really good early physical development - so at least you've got that under her belt.
    I read something the other day about children having at least 50 words at age 2. There is one boy at T's daycare who only just started really talking at 2...

    A bit unrelated... but when T still couldn't crawl when he turned 1 people were starting to ask me if i was concerned - and the next day he got up and walked and has been running ever since - so present behaviour doesn't necessarily determine the future.

    Hugs xx
