[QUOTE="OrganizedChaos, post: 454728, member: 12670"] Thank you for the suggestion. I will go to the forum so I can find out where to send it and get on it. This is such a vital message board for parents because there is SO MUCH to remember and so much we don't even know! :) You are right. I pray that this is the issue. We do talk to him as one would to an infant just learning to talk. (i.e. repeating "book" a million times while showing him what a book is). We don't baby talk but we are careful not to be too complex as he is just learning. The university hospital said to "start over" with the speech. We talk to him ALL the time; telling him what we're doing, what he's doing, etc. Yesterday was wonderful because he was bugging one of our cats (he was under my bed) and the kitty scratched him (these parts are not wonderful). He didn't get him badly (it didn't even break all the skin, just the top layer) but it was enough that my son cried like the cat ripped his hand off and my son said, very clearly, "kitty". He does that sometimes but won't repeat it. But it was so wonderful to hear! Just melted my heart as I was rocking to soothe him (he comes to us to be soothed when he's hurt) and explain again about the kitty. :) Thank you for your reply. Just knowing that we're not alone really does help. [/QUOTE]
