Oh nooooo! First of all, I've learned that what I understand coming from Ainsleigh is vastly different from what others hear coming from her. What sounds like a string of jabber to others, means, "We had a fun day." (it comes out "weeha finday." It's about 2 words smashed into 2 :). Also, I've had friends who tell me what their kid says and I think, "Man, Ainsleigh doesn't talk that much," and then we get together for playgroup and I think, "Well Ainsleigh talks like that!" What doesn't come across in typing or conversation are often the speech impediments and pausing/panting which often accompanies what these kids say.
But again, Ainsleigh's speech in the last month has totally taken off. I often have to stop and kind of analyze what it is she has just said before responding. And after working through it we'll figure out what she's saying. Other times it totally takes me by surprise that I understand 4 words she has strung together.
Anyway, I feel bad that my post made you feel bad, especially since I've been in your shoes many times and I *HATE* feeling like my kid isn't measuring up. But seriously, just wait. Some days now I say, "How about we be quiet for a little bit?" and then she whispers. Continually. Oh well.
There's something magical about turning 2, I think. But then, I said that about turning 1, too. Maybe it's all magical :).
