Our Miss. Matea is non-verbal.
She "echo's" phrases, and will say hello and goodbye when prompted.
My favorite phrase that pops up every now and then is from a favorite "Yo Gabba Gabba" show.
"My name is Matea! I like to dance!"
But she still "talks" to all of us....you just have to know what you are looking for.
When she is excited she runs.
She has happy skips, and frustrated skips.
When she is happy she flaps her hands just a little.
You have to watch pretty close but it's there
and when she is super pumped about life?
You guessed it, she runs and flaps :)
She can tell us when she wants her space,
and when she needs us, even just a little.
And if you are really lucky, and give her just a little extra time...
she will SHOW you her love.
