Being the ever-anxious mother that I am, I have decided to worry about Jamie's lack of vocabulary. Currently, he uses no words; instead, he employs a Syllable Array to remark upon things: D! Bah! Bow! This is cute and all, but the SAT looms a mere 16 years away and there's no time like the present to start cramming for it.
To start the lessons, during dinner last night we began with a simple query: "Where's Dada?". The correct response to this would have been "Dada!" (we also would have accepted "Da"). Dada happened to be sitting directly across from Jamie, so we hoped this visual cue would help provide the answer. Instead of replying, though, Jamie simply pointed at Greg.
This was not quite the answer we were looking for, but we felt it was an acceptable response and praised Jamie accordingly.
