Making Small Talk

By Carmen

Annley has recently started making conversation.  Sometimes with people.  Sometimes with her toys.

Here are a few examples;

Holding her Ariel toy
Annley: "Where is Prince Eric?"
Me: "We don’t have Eric but Ariel can play with the farmer."
Annley: (gives me a look of confusion) "NO!" (and walks away)
Apparently Ariel is too good for the farmer.

Conversation with herself playing with her ABC magnets
Picks up the letter 'G'
"What is this?  Is it a W?  No  Is it a O?  No  Is it a G? Yes  YAY!!!  You did it!"
