If you LO goes to DC

Do they talk about it constantly, like non-stop? Christian spend what seems like 50% of his time at home talking about teachers, friends, activities that he does at DC. I hope he talks about us that much at DC.

Re: If you LO goes to DC
Not here, it is like pulling teeth to get her to say anything about DC. Now if we are looking at pictures on the wall of what they did that day then she will tell me who is in the pictures and what they are doing. And occasionally I will get a story. Apparently her little friend Audrey says "boo!" and tries to scare DD all the time. So for awhile DD would occasionally mention that "Audrey boos."

Hmmmm...posts like these make me ready for our two year appointment. My kid doesn't "talk" about anything. If he does, God knows what it is he's saying. Mostly he babbles about dogs and snacks and his toys in one or maybe two word phrases. The daycare still says he doesn't even use that many words when he's there!
I would imagine that for the kiddos that can speak clearly, talking about daycare is probably normal. They are there most of their day. When you come home, don't you talk about work and what you did all day? I know our school-aged neices and nephews talk a lot about school and their friends at school.
um no b/c he doesn't talk
But I totally believe it...I teacher Kindergarten and had 10 parent teacher conferences this week and most of the parents said that their kids talked about me/school non stop.
My little man at 0-1-2
This is DS exactly.
I remember DD started DC at 2, and her teacher's name was Connie. Every Mexican woman she saw for months was, "Connie!!"
LOL, that is too funny. DS only goes twice a wk so I don't think it's enough to make much of an impression. He's very much a 'man of the moment' and his vocab is very limited. He pretty much just repeats words that we say and yells at us when he wants something.
My son is a little delayed with speech, and is in therapy. The therapists say he's doing really well though, but he could not carry on a conversation like that at all. She gave me a packet awhile ago about "typical" speech milestones and it actually says this time of conversation - as in telling you about his/her day sort of thing - isn't until 2.5. And that's the age it starts...again, according to what our ST gave us.
So, don't worry! But to the original poster - I think that sounds totally normal (and awesome your toddler can talk about things they did all day!). They spend so much time there, it would seem natural they would talk about it a lot. I can't wait to hear about my son's day from him.
No, but DS also doesn't have sentences and whatnot. I don't think his language is at the point he can "talk about" something. He repeats words and groups of words that he likes and describes what's going on but he doesn't really talk about daycare.
ETA: to reiterate what someone said above, I think that any kid who can't talk in sentences at just-under-2-years is FINE. In DS's daycare there are kids who talk in sentences but there are also kids who don't really say anything. There is a big range and there is nothing to worry about. If your kid doesn't have any words then you should at least get them checked out (but they still might be fine!) but saying a few words here and there or combining two words at a time is completely fine and normal.
Well, even if my kid doesn't talk, this did remind me of this little girl Nate's age at daycare who knows everyone's parents! When I walk in, she yells, "Nate, your mommy is here!" and runs to get him and hug him bye!
That is really cute!
DS doesn't go to DC, but he'll do similar things. When MH comes home from work, DS will tell him, "park...mommy....slide", for example. So, then MH will say, "oh, you went to the park with mommy & went on the slide?" And DS will give a resounding, Yes!"
Same thing if MH takes DS out somewhere. As soon as they get home DS will tell me what they did.
