'oh just come here darling pie and let me hug you' she said!!!! her talking never gets old!! xxxxxxxxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648229748088235109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-38558299735450266872012-05-10T23:37:40.750-05:002012-05-10T23:37:40.750-05:00I knew she was smart!I knew she was smart!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02642775366861492881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-35288099897914000712012-05-10T20:13:31.559-05:002012-05-10T20:13:31.559-05:00Wonderful!!

A woman at a seminar I was recently at said something along the lines of a child who "communicates without words", and I liked that, since the implication is that there IS still communication (even if it sounds a little like it's trying to be PC.)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985688905432556253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-36861651260087834202012-05-10T13:18:57.829-05:002012-05-10T13:18:57.829-05:00I do this with my youngest (who doesn't have D...I do this with my youngest (who doesn't have Ds). I assume that she is less intelligent because she has less sense. Because she is willing to walk off the edge of a couch and to push over what she used to climb up with in order to get that last step thereby leaving her with no way to get back down, I assume that she can't understand as much. I'm getting better at not equating being less cautious with being less clever. Like Ellie Bear, my Darth Baby is showing me that throwing caution to the wind in order to seek more sensory experiences is not that same as not having the ability to absorb and learn.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452366492486662984noreply@blogger.com
