She still isn't speaking...

The Babe is 26 months old and still not speaking. Sometimes it is frustrating, and sometimes, when I remember what it was like with the other 4 when they were toddlers, I remember to be grateful for small blessings, and endeavour to enjoy the peace while it lasts. Not that there is really peace. She can still communicate all to well, "No!" having been mastered. And one doesn't need actual words to shout and express displeasure. And she still manages to tell me to shut up -  by putting her fingers to her lips most emphatically. Ah well.
