Aimee is a very clever girl. I know so, because she told me. After counting numbers to 13 or 14 yesterday, she finished by saying: WELL DONE AIMEE, CLEVER GIRL – and then clapping self-approvingly.Of course she has no idea what it means (or maybe she does, which would mean she is indeed very clever), as she is just mimicking what me or Cat say after each accomplished task. In the early days, we started off praising her with high targets such as, can Aimee change her clothes or climb the stairs, but now our targets are much more, erm, realistic, like, just trying to get her to put a spoon of food in her mouth and not spitting it out again.
