OK, have to have a mommy brag on my little guy for a moment.Speech is totally not Patrick's strong area~he has only a few words that are understandable that he uses all the time~dont hear a lot of new words coming out.
Well, this morning as I was getting Nora into her car seat to take the 3 older boys to school Patrick was standing at the doorway saying something to me. When I was done with Nora I turned to him and he said, clear as a bell, "Too big." He was telling me the hat I had given him was too big~which it was. I was so excited I made him tell his brothers and dad what was wrong with his hat and each time he said "too big", clear enough to completely understand what he was saying.
I had tears in my eyes I was so proud of him! We work so hard on speech and I was starting to think it would never pay off but these two little words have let me know not to back off~that he is learning and wants to talk and will improve.
Thanks for letting me share my little story!

Mary L, Collin and Patrick are really really close to the same age and I can really really relate to speech not being his strong point. Because we struggle with that here, too. Got tears in my eyes right along with you girlie!!! Hugs, Connie
