[quote=Anonymous]OP, what caused you to have the eval 8 months ago in the first place?

Like several others have said, nothing in your description of your son raises any red flags at all.
And yes, I have a son with a very significant speech delay.  At 3, I would have given my eye teeth for him to tell me "it was great mom" when I asked about school.
I also have a 3 year old daughter who is very ahead verbally.  She still isn't going to give me lots of info with a "what did you do?"  Sometimes I'll get paragraphs upon paragraphs about her day (which is VERY unusual for a 3 year old!) and other times I'll get crickets or, at most, a one word answer.

I think your expectations of 3 year olds may be a little off base.  Barring concerns raised by the preschool teacher or pediatrician, I'd say just relax a little.  Enjoy your son as he is right now.  Re-evaluate for yourself in 6 months or a year.  If you still feel concerned, then go ahead with a reevaluation if you absolutely must, but at this point, I think you're working yourself up without any benefit.  (Note that I didn't say "over nothing" - no one on the internet can give you an accurate evaluation.  My point is that right now there's nothing so pressing as to need immediate attention.)[/quote]
