When Elliot wants me to do something, like take him out on the back deck in the snow or give him some food, he bangs on my leg then turns and walks to the do ok r or refrigerator or whatever it is he wants. If I don’t follow him, he comes back, bangs on my leg, and repeats the whole process until I follow him. Then he talks his baby talk to me, pointing, until I figure out what he wants and give it to him.
It’s so adorable and amazingly effective!
Today is was playing in the running stream of melting snow in the street. He was fascinated with dropping twigs or leaves or anything that floats into the stream and watching it new carried away. I remember doing the same thing in Cherry Hill, although I must have been older.
