Mila's first four-word sequence was attained yesterday as I was attempting to round up Mila and Silas at the end of a trip to the Maryland Zoo. Combined with several emphatic ASL signs and a desperate tone of voice, Mila's demand of "No Go!! Stay Zoo!!" became a great theatrical performance, ending with the act of going limp as I tried to hold her hand and walk toward the exit.
Today Mila has demonstrated her love of telling a story, re-enacting yesterday's scene in our kitchen as I made lunch. I imitated her, and she would crack up laughing before repeating the four words again while additionally hamming up the performance. We kept cracking each other up with this acted-out phrase for maybe five minutes, going back and forth. Great fun!
