[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 487758, member: 1233"] I am glad that the visit went better than expected. VERY glad! You don't need anymore drama/stress right now. As for 2nd child syndrome, what idiot dreamed that up? I know as a little one I worked to keep up with my big bro because he got to do "all the fun stuff" and I can remember as far back as age 2 quite clearly (family thing - my father has memories from the time he was about 6 mos, Wiz has them earlier than my dad did and what they remember is NOT stuff that they heard us talking about. WIz asked us about the rainbow on the way home from the hospital when he was about 18 mos and saw a rainbow for the first time since he knew what the word was. Yes, there was one, and it is his first memory but not his only early memory by any means) I can believe the doctor told htem that Mikey was fine. I am sure that Jamie didn't go to the appointment or didn't go to all of them and that Billie only told them what they wanted to hear and minimized anything they said might be an issue. There is no way it is in ANY way normal for a 2yo to not be speaking at all. This guideline from webmd says that by 36 mos a child should have between 150-200 words and strangers should understand them about 75% of the time ([url=http://children.webmd.com/guide/speech-and-language-development-age-1-to-3-years]Speech and language development, age 1 to 3 years[/url]). It has other guidelines as well. You might, if Jamie would receive it well, send this to Jamie, or send another version of it from another site (google "language milestones for 2yo" - what I used). Hailie sure has them wrapped around their fingers. At some point Mikey will either haul off and beat the snot out of her or else he will become incredibly sneaky. Frankly, if he doesn't I would be super worried about him because it would be a logical and expectable reaction to having a sib like Haillie. I am sorry that you are worried about them. I hoep the rest of your holidays are peaceful and enjoyable! [/QUOTE]
