... is like talking to a brick wall. Rob was eating banana slices dipped in peanut butter tonight. Ally was eating a blueberry muffin. She decided his looked better. He gave her a piece of banana with a little bit of PB on it, and she promptly sucked it off. Then she offered him the banana to put some more on. Rob tried to convince her that she had to eat the banana first then, he'd give her another one. She understands this logic. She follows directions when we tell her to do something she wants to do. She acted like Rob just didn't understand what she was saying, so she had better explain it again. If she could talk, the conversation would have went something like this:
Rob: Ally eat your banana first then you can have some more.
Ally: Yeah, "more" that's what I was just telling you - I want some more.
Rob: Ally, you can't have more peanut butter until you eat what you've got.
Ally: But here, I'll give this one back. I really wanted the one with peanut butter on it anyway.
Rob: Take a bite
Ally: Well, maybe if I put it near my mouth, I can fool him.
and so on. I couldn't help but laugh. She was so earnest in her protesting.
