> likes to sing and sometimes surprises me with the words she knows to different songs
> wants to talk on and play with our cell phones (we don’t have a home phone)

> likes to feed Max, give him treats, and try to throw his ball – and has covered him up with her blanket when she thinks he’s taking a nap
> likes to go (as in leave the house)

> can count to 10 but often leaves out 6 and 7

> will watch us to see if we notice she’s doing something wrong – if we’re watching, she’ll sweetly say “hi” or give us a big smile
