I understand my dog alot better than I understand my nearly two year old...
My mother had a dog. In order to get his treat, he had to stand up, turn around in a circle and sit.
Do you want a treat? Dog stands up, turns around and sits.
She was watching my brothers pet bird. She was talking to the bird whose name was “cheep”. “Hi cheep, that’s a good cheep, can you say cheep”. She notices the dog staring intently at cheep. She turns to the dog and says “do you want cheep”. He stands up, turns around and sits down. Yes! He wants Cheep!
May just be the inflection in her voice?
