random words?

I'm really just so stressed right now and it sucks. DH and I are going away for the first time without Aiden and leave this afternoon. We are going to be gone for two nights, and I am really nervous about that. Part of me just wants to say the hell with it, and stay home.
School starts Tuesday,and there has been so much stress already with the school year starting with all of the changes going on this school year - any teachers would know what I am talking about - the common core changes, testing, etc. I'm ready to pull my hair out!
And I've been stressed ALL summer about Aiden - his lack of speech, worried he has a developmental delay, etc. He made and is making improvements on his speech and it makes me happy, but now I'm noticing he uses words in the completely WRONG context. We were sitting down to breakfast today and he says "show?" which means he wants to watch tv. Then later we were playing mega blocks and he randomly says "bye bye." My heart is breaking because I thought he was making progress and the speech was helping - which it is helping him gain vocabulary - but if he's using it wrong then it's not really progress.
He does use the words in the appropriate context, too so I don't understand.
I'm so stressed and have been crying all morning.
Re: random words?
Maybe he's not really saying them in the wrong context, but rather talking to you about those things. Like you're eating breakfast and he's having a conversation with you about how he would like to watch tv, or you're playing blocks and he's saying he wants to go bye bye. Hazel does that sort of thing a lot. She talks to me about swimming in the pool when I haven't mentioned the pool. It's just a favorite topic of discussion.
I would worry about it so much. You can even elaborate on what he's saying like if he says bye bye tell him first we are playing blocks, then we'll go bye bye to the store.
I'm sorry you are stressing, (((hugs)))
I don't think I'd worry about words out of context. O does that all the time and he is in the normal range for speech development.
Just this morning I got him out of his crib, said good morning to which he replied "guppies", which means Bibble Guppies. At dinner we were talking about the veggies on his plate and he kept saying "Nay", who is a teacher at DC but is never there for lunch when he would see her and veggies together. On a regular basis he tells his toys "hello" and "goodbye" while playing with them. Those are just a few examples. I kinds of take it as he is practicing his words or he's thinking lots of things at once and that is what pops out of his mouth, lol.
My toddlers at work do this too. I think it is pretty normal and I wouldn't worry about it especially if he is using words correctly at other times.
This too.
This is very true. And you never, ever, know what exactly is going on in his head. While he's playing with the blocks he may be pretending that they are cars and going "bye bye," he may be remembering his favorite show while eating breakfast. The important thing to remember is that he is trying as best as he can to communicate what he is thinking with you.
And for the record DD will just suddenly go "Rarr!" for no reason, simply because she thinks it is fun, and that is completely normal for this age. And that is just one example, she does it all the time.

I agree with these 2 ladies.
DS asks me, "beach?" like every other day. We went to the beach over a month ago! It seems out of context now, but I know that he remembers going & I figure he is asking if we are going back. Sometimes you have to think like them to figure out what they might be trying to tell you. And even if you can't figure it out, that's ok, too. Just roll with the conversation, ask them questions, or simply say, "ok, sweetie, sure, whatever you say!" hahaha
Hope the school year evens out... I know All those changes can be annoying and a lot of extra work. Hang in there!
