Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat and new dancing

About 20 minutes before dinner time Megan started pushing 'eat' on her talker.  She was kindof half-heartedly pushing words up until that point but she still didn't want to leave it to go play with toys.  She wants to be right at it at all times.  Anyway, so she kept saying 'eat'.  Granny was here visiting by that point and so I jumped up to cook dinner and I kept telling her I was working on it.  A few seconds later I would hear 'eat' again and then hear my mom telling her I was working on it.  

The girl meant business.  She said "hey, you gave me this thing and I get what I want when I push the right word and I WANT TO EAT!".  It was awesome!!!!

After dinner we continued working with her and she continued to not want to leave it.  She wanted to play with her dominoes so badly but she just couldn't bring herself to leave the talker.  We were finally able to entice her to play a few times for a couple of minutes.  While we were playing with her I showed her again where "sing" is located as it is a two push word.  As soon as I pushed the word I would begin singing a song and Megan was so completely beside herself happy that she could get me to sing by pushing the word that she was doing this side to side swaying back and forth with her arms outstretched and she would slap her hands on the floor on each side.  When I finished singing I helped her find the word again and she would start the new ecstatic dancing again with the biggest smile her on face.  She is LOVING being able to tell us "no I don't want to do that" or "I want to do this" or "sing to me mommy" etc and I LOVE that I get to hear what she wants too.
