Alice is still making progress every now and then.
While we were driving, Mom started singing the “backpack song” from Dora the Explorer because Charles likes it. Alice liked it too and even sang along, getting the words mostly correct (better diction than I’ve heard her use elsewhere). Of course, the lyrics consist solely of the word “backpack”…
Alice has also learned how to pull a blanket over herself for a nap. I saw her lay down and then arrange the blanket over herself. Alice also likes the big pillows in the media room for naps as well. Occasionally when she’s tired, she’ll stalk over to one and throw herself down on it to rest. Even more occasionally, she’ll actually fall asleep.
Alice is also starting to make lip smacking sounds, apparently to defend herself against Mom smoochies.
Alice continues to be obsessed with the cats. She stalks them around the house. She also enjoys pointing them out to other people, in case we hadn’t noticed their presence. If only she didn’t pull their tails quite so hard.
