Why do you say he is delayed? He sounds perfectly on track to me? My DD1 didn't talk until after two. There are lots of kids who don't start TT until 3 and he will eventually listen to what you say....eventually you're doing a great job! We've had plenty of bedtime issues here too and still do have them. We have put a gate up at DD2's door same as PP because if we didn't she'd play in the lounge room all night. My DD1 slept on the floor for four months after DD2 was born. We just made her a nest on the floor at the gate and that was that! Hehe. Parenting is a battle and we're all here for you xx
