One of my god-daughters just turned 2. She's so adorable!!
The only thing is, she is not talking yet. There's nothing wrong with her, she hears and understands just fine, and is capable of producing sounds. She just doesn't seem to have anything important to say.
But she has the most expressive little face I've ever seen. She's almost talking with her expressions.

She also has a very good concentration and focus for a 2-year-old. I played some ball catching games with her, she could have kept going all night long. Other kids at the birthday party were mostly running around, screaming.

We gave her a pair of maracas as a present. She loved them. She's going to a musical play school.

That's ok, I didn't talk until I was 4.

I started to talk when I was 1.

I don't remember when I started talking, but I do know by the age of 5 pr 6, I was already an engineer.
We, (Me and other kids my age who where my friends in Kindergarten) all had this same baby sitter we did not like. She was not nice, but she never hit us, but she was not always keeping an eye on us, and when she got mad, she was loud.

We always tried to find a way to hide from her for most of the day until our parents came and got us. She a next door neighbor, who was the grandmother of one of my friends. And we thought we could hide in her back yard until our parents came. So we decided to dig a hole under the wire fences, and we almost finish it, I could fit my chest under it.

But then Lynda found it and filled it up with rocks.
My point is despite whether at the young age we talk or not, we still have more intelligent than we show by not talking.

I started to talk understandable words in ~15 months.

BTW, do you remember your earliest memory flashback? what age? :)

Same!

I had weird ideas like this as a kid, too. For example, i planned to put my wardrobe in front of my room's door and saw a hole that kinda went through the door as well as the back panel of the wardrobe. So, to enter my room, I would have had to crawl through my wardrobe The point of that was to 1. jam the dor (wardrobe) and 2.lock my parents out by making the hole so small that only me would have been able to crawl in

But as silly little me showed the construction plans to them, they forbid it

Hm, one of my earliest memories is how I dreamed up a monkey kind of... watching me from the wall opposite my bed. That was a totally freaky hallucination and I still know exactly what it looked like. I woke up my parents and grandparents (who were visiting us at the time) to convince them of that monkey... they were so pissed haha

Uhh....about 2 years old? Outside of the back door to my first good babysitters place Sharon, it was early in the morning, it was dark out, and the windows lite the outside of the back of the drive way.
