He just turned four today. It almost sounded as if you were describing Henry. He acted the same for quite a while. Not many words, we communicate by looks and some sign.
That's a huge step for that child, he felt safe with you and let you know.
Henry is very smart also, just has no need for too many words yet. He could use an iPhone and iPad by the time he was two. Lotsa great learning apps out there.

Congratulations on a great day.
