Speech was another story. Last week, since Raquel was beyond fascinated with Mary's three bags of toys, Mary told Raquel she wouldn't bring them this week. And she didn't. Let's just say that it didn't go over too well with Raquel. It was quite obvious that she knew something was very different today.
Although she was happy and calm throughout the session, she was definitely holding a grudge. She spent 90% of the time with her back turned to Mary. She wouldn't give her eye contact and pretty much just basically ignored her. Even when Mary and I would engage in really animated play to entice her, she'd look the other way. It was really funny. I asked Mary when she left if she was going to bring her bags again next time and she said, "No way." I guess my stubborn girl is going to learn that things aren't always on her terms one way or another.
Kind of like the waving. She refuses to wave hi or bye to any of her ABA therapists. But she clearly knows how to do it...

Kids... They all do this thing where they learn how to wave, and you rush to the nearest person to have the tyke demonstrate "say bye!" *wave* "bye, say bye" and your child looks at you like you just landed from Mars...
