This is one of the few words Lyla is using "almost" functionally right now, unprompted. By "unprompted" I mean I'm not saying it first, she is. "Almost" is because it really wasn't 100% functional but I got it. This has happened a couple times the past couple days, so I need to get it down on paper so I can remember! She came up to me with a toy and said and signed (aggressively I might add) "OPEN! OPEN!" the toy couldn't be opened, but she wanted me to turn it on, obviously. She rarely uses any words functionally and HATES being asked if she wants "More?" she grumbles and refuses to say that word, but even today, she said it, after being prompted if she wanted more watermelon! Small steps!
She's also singing a lot more on her own, she has an amazing memory and I just love it. I will have to ask about music therapy. I think that could open up some doors for communication with her.
