• Now that Sophie is learning how to more effectively communicate she is almost drunk with power. She points, says “eh” or something that sounds like dog, and I say “yes, dog!” She smiles a great smile, points, says, “eh” and I say, “cup? Do you want your cup?” This game continues all day long, and nothing seems to make her happier than to finally, at long last, be able to effectively communicate her wants and needs. Of course, there is the downside that comes when my little interlocutor doesn’t get the item she really wants, like, say, mommy’s coffee. But mostly this stage is just great fun. And now she is pointing at my iPad with her “want” eyes. Uh oh.
