Thanks, guys. I'm not in full blown panic but it's disconcerting to have a professional tell you something might be amiss. I'm not worried about ASD too much. I'm assuming he's an introverted personality who's just working through things at his own pace.
I've taken to working with him when Liv naps and have noticed some progress with the drills (specifically "asking" words which he had been lacking). I think he might fare better with a professional speech (speach?) therapist if that's one of our options. As it is, I can't speculate on what's slowing him down and I'd almost rather not. I know someone who's four year old son was in the programs my ped suggested for Owen and he's already caught up completely (he wasn't saying ANYTHING at two years old). So I do have some contacts with other mothers here that can put my mind at ease.
I would give anything for a picture of CJ with Poppin Fresh. Truly.
Yes, or speaking should be spelled speeking. The vowel change is superfluous.
Heh. Relatedly (?), am I the only one whose fingers constanty try to insert a "b" whenever I type the word numerous?
Random funniness: Whenever I type my real-life name into a Word doc, it wants to change it to Mount.
It looks like we're going to be looking at an apartment on the street we already live on tonight.
{{{Cashmere}}} What everyone else said. Owen has figured out this is another way to needle you. Speech~ma to the tot and whatever~ma necessary to you.
Oh, Punk! Please not to be throwing up ON Mommy. Or the couches. Feel better soon. Empress, I hope she doesn't get too cranky when she's sick.
GC, heh. Word always wants to change my last name to never.
eta: Apartment~ma to sj.
On conf call: Someone just said, "Another big but is..." and I started laughing. I couldn't help it!

Did you ask for a big but moratorium?

He does have to walk home from school and if Suzi really loved us she'd figure out a way to get us the pic. ::sniff::
My DH has always claimed that if we had a child I would screw them up speech-wise as I constantly morph words, use my own rhyming slang and or flip syllables around (e.g., San Francisco is, in my world, Fran Sancisco). This is, possibly, why I can't spell, and why I'm a failure at word games like Scrabble and Boggle.
Owen is a creative little bugger, so I suspect he's working out a way to using language that will be entirely his own. {{Cash}}
edited, because I screwed up the words and their order
