Child Communication & Doctors Offices

You ever realize how children change in a pediatricians waiting room? Well it is possible its just my children that decide to either become very vocal or want to hide behind(or under) me. A few months ago I took my 1 year old son to the doctor for his 18 month check up. I had him in his little stroller and he was set and content. We went to the well child waiting room and sat down to wait. We were there for about 5 minutes and another mom with a 2 year old daughter came in and sat across from us. Her daughter sat at the table that was between us. She was obviously very curious about my son. She kept stealing glances in his direction. Finally she came over closer to a chair directly in front of us.
She was looking at him and her mom said something along the lines of don't mess with them. I looked up and told her that she wasn't bothering us. I told Jordan(my son)to say hello. He babbled at her. Then they suddenly they were in a conversation that only the two of them could understand. It was so neat to watch them because I know they knew what the other was saying. I commented on this to her mom and she said, "This is strange! She has completely reverted back to baby talk. She normally can talk well for a 2 year old." I thought that was a pretty neat thing to see/hear.
