[quote=Anonymous]OP here, speech seems age appropriate. Has at least 100 words (???I don't count but he seems to use a fair amount and understand much more, no trouble naming lots of things), uses speech to express needs, puts together a variety of 2 to 3 word phrases, like "more chicken please" or "shoes go to park" or stuff like that. I was a little concerned around 18 m but he seemed to experience that 'language explosion' that a lot of people talk about so I am not particularly concerned there as he seems on par with peers in general, as far as I can tell.

I should also mention that I bring him once a week to a music class for kids 18 m to 3. He is a bit on the younger side, and more distracted than a lot of the kids (esp the girls) but he does not exhibit behavior problems like aggressiveness, etc, and there is a lot of stimulation there--10 kids, parents, instruments, new environment, etc. He needs to get up and explore it, doesn't always follow the 'class', but doesn't have meltdowns either. His meltdowns at home are fairly typical/predictable and not super frequent--they occur if we say no to something (he tries to grab something dangerous or he wants yet another book before bed) and are of course directly linked to whether he is tired or not, so we try to make sure he sleeps well at night (7:15/7:30 pm to 6:15 or 6:30 am is typical, with a 1.5 to 2 hr nap).

I'm not sure whether its an overstimulation thing (which was not an issue when he was younger), an attention thing at daycare, or something that we should try to plan for better--eg, take him out of this daycare (which is not that big and which is willing to work with him--when he acts out they remove him from the situation and put him in a quieter, separate place until he calms down, but they are worried about the other kids modeling him, etc).

the only other thing I can think if is that we are expecting another baby in a couple months. We've told him a bit about the baby but I'm not sure he really gets it and I would think that the real acting out would happen once baby is here (which is another concern if it is attention/emotional needs).
