sentences! I feel they expect far too much from our children.

Brendan is 28 months old and is now saying roughly 10 words.... he is speech delayed though, but at his 24 month (corrected age) check his speech was graded between 12 and 18 months and back then he had only about 5 words, no sentences and very little understanding. He could only understand and follow 2-3 simple instructions.

My point being... if that is what a 12-18 month old should be doing according to Brendan's Paed and Child psychologist then your little man is doing beautifully
