(What, you've never heard of "oatbrain?" haha. I'm too tired to fix that. I have oatbrain).
Hmm, OK, maybe that's not so accurate. This is probably better:
Every time a new word comes out of his mouth, my heart skips a beat. I can't tell you how proud I am of him. For once, I am the one who is speechless.


You must be over the moon happy! Our little guy (almost 4) has been attending speech therapy for a couple of months now for help with 's', 'k' and 'g' sounds. When it finally started to click, I cried with joy and pride!

So awesome!
I remember when my oldest finally started talking. We were in a similar situation to yours and when he finally started talking I wanted to cheer every time he said something!
Now I can't get him to stop talking!!

Oh, that is just the best news! I know you knew it would happen eventually but it's hard to silence those nagging doubts. And I gotta warn you, once they start talking they tend to just talk and talk and talk. I was at a family 4th of July party yesterday and my late-to-talk nephew, who just turned three, is talking like crazy, so much so that my mom (his grandma) turned to his dad and said, "Did you talk that much when you were his age?" And this is the kid whose parents were worried that he was going to be permanently language-delayed. So happy for you and Charlie! This is the start of so many new adventures!
