Now, at the end of May her vocab is quite incredible, along with a few french phrases. "NO" and "WHY" have retained their popularity but she has literally gone from slightly-anxiety-inducingly untalkative to stressfuly-communicative about everything, to anyone :-) . And it only started over the house move end of Jan. I did trapse her off to the HV and he was very reassuring, so it's well worth it. We've printed squared and other paper from <a href="http://www.mathsphere.co.uk/Resources/MathSphereFreeGraphPaper.shtml">here</a> but I suppose if you're buying it, it must be cheaper than printing, queen of the google that you are ;-) Titch spoke about a couple of words at christmas and I worried a little about it as Pip spoke her first sentence at 15 months (”daddy done’d a farty”- I wrote it down ;-) ).

At that point Maddy was almost completely non-verbal - i did know she COULD express herself to some extent but she simply didn't. Life was a total nightmare with her. So we arrived at the SALTs room, with a load of new toys - and Maddy talked perfectly throughout the appointment. SALT, naturally, thought i was bonkers. Maddy then refused to utter a single word for a week afterwards. *rolls eyes* When Maddy was somewhere around 3, old enough to have seriously worried me anyway, i took her to see Fran’s speech therapist.
