Zoe's communication progresses more and more every day. In addition to listening carefully to her daily ramblings, we also have Zoe express herself in different ways to help bridge the gap in her verbal expression for now. One way is we encourage her to sign or shake her head yes/no. (She says yeah and no as well). Since we've been teaching Zoe to read we also write choices on a paper and ask her questions and let her point to her answer on a choice board. For example when we show her a new homemade book or a new set of Intel cards, we ask her "What did you think?" and give her a choice board to grade them; great, ok or stinks (Extreme Sports and Rodents recently scored 'great', mathematical symbols got a 'stinks' - go figure!). Normally, when we turn the video camera on she shuts up on us but I caught her a bit this time and thought you'd like to hear what she has to say. (And check out her funny facial aerobics, it's new!) Sorry the clip's a bit long, didn't have time to edit it down - when do I have time for anything?
