What I found behind our couch today

One of these kids is not like the others
All was going well with the appointment until the Dr. asked how many words little M was saying. I said "about six, and really he can't finish any of his words, ex: ma, da, ba, do, moe and his favorite word Ah, but if you count mouthing words he can say a lot more". The doctor replied "mouthing words does not count, and neither do the other words because those are not words." So he suggested that I get him evaluated by "kids on the move" to see if he is eligible for speech therapy. Well those stats are also in, and he is eligible. He is in the 1% for speech in his age group. The nice lady who came and assessed him said he is speaking about how a 14 month old would speak. So really only 10 months behind.
Honestly I was not too shocked because I have been worried about his speech for a while, I am just glad we can start working on it, although there is something about him not talking that makes him still seem like a baby and I love it. So I am just going to enjoy him and not stress about the stats.
