Testing Out

the new camera. If you listen to the video, right before Caroline goes after the ball a second time, she says "I'll get it!". I caught it on tape!

Go Grandma for teaching her this, though Caroline would never say it in front of her. This is completely indicative of Caroline's talking skills. She says words once or twice, but not often and never when you want her to. Clay got her to say 'please' the other day, but that was the only time. I can get her to say 'all aboard', but not when anyone else is around. If there are any theories out there about this type of behavior, please share them. We're stumped.

We both, however, understand her many faces...

I don't have a theory -- as such -- but I can tell you we experience something very similar. If we try to get Liz to say 'hi' 'bye' 'thanks' or a few other things -- to certain people -- there's not a chance she'll do it. Even to people that she really likes, sometimes. She just won't say it. Sometimes she remembers to say it on her own, but if she doesn't, then there's no way she'll listen to our prompting.

Kids are weird.
