Fail to see what this has to do with anything, but they’re post pandemic babies and were born premature. Delays are common with premature infants, they usually catch up by 2-3. They’re not even 1 and a half yet.
Oh definitely true there on the speech thing. We have speech delays on both sides and we were almost referred at their 15 month appointments to early interventions (us program), so we’re definitely more vigilant than most probably. My 3 year old has a ‘severe speech delay’.
Twinnies update: still pretty much non-verbal here (they both only have 3 words), so I’m pretty sure we’re going to speech therapy next month. My 3 year old is also speech delayed and the twins were preemies. They’re also lagging behind developmentally in other areas like fine motor skills and some comprehension stuff, probably cause they’re preemies and one of them already clearly has sensory issues (genetic likely cause I have them too).
They are driving me crazy though. So much climbing, slapping, biting, and falling. Sometimes they’re so sweet and they play together and hold hands, but mostly it’s lord of the flies here. At least no one tells me how much they wish they had twins in public now like so many women did when they were tiny and cute.
Oh and they get the zoomies like my cats used to.
