While walking around the back field with our
youngest granddaughter, we came upon a pile
of cracked up nuts. She stopped and whin-nied
at them. “It’s okay, the squirrels do that.'” I said.
She didn’t want to go past them. So we walked around.
She has excellent use of her words, that’s not the problem.
But sometimes she loses them. Like, if she sees nuts
that squirrels have gnawed through, or anything else that intimidates
her. Maybe a loud noise. Or music she doesn’t like, she’ll sort of grrr
out of the side of her mouth. I don’t mind it a bit that she
does this. Sometimes there are no words. Don’t we know…
