Thanks, Internet!
Note: Robin’s hearing has been checked a few times (basic well-baby check) and he’s never had any kind of trouble with his ears. We specifically asked at his last appointment.
But the real, interesting followup: Today at the library, he pointed at one flower, two flowers, just as he’s been doing for a while. One, the other, two at once. “Flower,” he said clearly. (it’s moved from a whispered ‘ffowr’ to ‘whowr’ lately because I think he sees wheels and flowers as the same kind of thing). And then, pointing at both, he said, “Flowers,” carefully emphasizing the ’s’ sound at the end. He did it three times, and smiled, and went back to babbling to himself.

What a lot this little boy has to process…and today he got the concept of plurals! Pretty amazing since there are so many new things rushing through his brain. He’s also beginning to understand words that rhyme, as evidenced the other night when Kevin told him a crayon was white and he pointed to the skylight, and Kevin talked to him about that being light. He’s figuring out that some words sound the same but mean something different. Once he’s sure that he’s using the right words, he’ll let loose and you won’t be able to shut him up!

LOL, Cathy is right. One day you will wonder why you ever worried as Robin is blazing your ears off. He sounds like a delightful child to me.
