Well, difficult child 2 has been talking alot more! Which is what we've been working for. He has been saying 2-3 word sentences like "NO DON'T" "YOU NO DON'T" "MILK NOW!" We've even had whole conversations. Arguments about toys.
"TOYS"
you can play with the toys in your room.
"NO ROOM TOYS!" ect...
He doesn't give up the argument by talking it out. He'll argue until I've picked him up, moved him to his room, and he is distracted by the toys in his room.
He has also started two syllable words. Right now he only has two volumes whisper and yell. Sorry my spelling is awful.
