That's a very good idea. I think I'll see what happens if I never again ask or prompt her to speak. I already usually have her respond by pointing. I FEEL like I don't talk much myself, but I imagine it may not feel like that to her. I'll try being more quiet... (The vaudeville was a freakish, desperate attempt to make her smile, not part of my usual repertoire, as it were. :})
Thanks for your suggestions.
(P.S. She didn't smile, by the way. She just looked like she thought I was nuts. Perceptive kid.)
