How does your 2 1/2 year old talk? !!UPDATE!!
My almost 30 month old can say anything at this point but he still speaks telegraphically. What I mean is, he leaves out articles and prepositions still. And he also pauses between each word.
For example, he just said: mommy. Do it. Self.
That means, mommy, I did it by myself!
I'm wondering if this is typical or not.
UPDATE
I had early intervention come out and they did his evaluation today. The speech pathologist agreed that he does speak telegraphically and she said because he has a large vocabulary, he should be speaking in more of an adult like way. So he qualifies for services and we begin on Monday.
I was kind of surprised because I thought that they would say, "He's fine." But they didn't and that makes me happy to know that my instincts were right and that they actually listened to me. I wanted their professional opinion and that is what I got. :)
It sounds normal to me. My DD is only 26 months, but it sounds like what she's doing some of the time. Some of her speech still occasionally has words out of order (like "put foot on shoe"), but she surprises me when she does things like pick out the book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," sits down, and tells me very clearly, "Mama, I'm reading Mouse Cookies."
every kid develops at different rates. at 2.5YO, dd was speaking like her 3.5yo cousin but my 4yo nephew doesn't talk as well. over time, his language developed well ... just took him some time. i wouldn't worry about it.
That is some what typcal. My youngest talked a lot and did that some. My middle talked pretty well too and would sometimes. My oldest hardly talked at that age till he went to speech class
idk I think that is normal cause everyone says my 2.5 year old talks really well. She sometimes talk better than my 4.5 year old.
My son has a speech delay so I'm not sure. At 2 1/2 he only had maybe 10 words in his vocabulary. Very seldom did he say more than one word sentences.
Now at 3 after a lot of early intervention he has more words than I could count and he speaks in short sentences, but he does not use articles or prepositions and he only uses verbs and nouns...adjectives on some occassions.
