[QUOTE="donna723, post: 487745, member: 1883"] I'm happy for you too! So glad it went well. And I take it as a very good sign that apparently Jamie has laid down the law a little bit - loooooong overdue! But I don't know if I buy the "second child syndrome" thing either! Do they talk baby talk to Mikey? That's one thing I made sure never to do with mine and they [U]both[/U] spoke very clearly and very early. They never talked baby talk to my 2-1/2 year old grandson, Ethan, either and he speaks very clearly, in complete sentences ... and CONSTANTLY! That little boy never shuts up! I know you've probably already thought of this but have they ever had his hearing checked? My daughter had lots of ear infections when she was little but we never suspected hearing loss because she spoke so early and so well. By the time we picked up on it and had her checked by an audiologist she had lost over 60% of her hearing from the fluid backup in her ears. She had tubes put in her ears when she was 3-1/2 and her hearing went right back to 100% - made a world of difference! The audiologist told us that young children don't realize there's anything wrong and they learn to compensate. She had even taught herself to lip-read a bit, just to get by. [/QUOTE]
