Thanks everybody, I really appreciate it. My rational mind knows that it’s all probably normal, but that mommy-worry can get pretty loud in my head!
So far, he doesn’t have an older sibling or other person talking for him, unless it’s us jumping the gun. Sometimes we will get him what he wants without making him use the word, because he gets frustrated really easily and then he’s pissed and the whole world goes to hell. Typical two year old, I guess.
Of course, the little brother is on the way, due to arrive next March, so from what I’ve heard that might change things a bit!
