When Edith Ann began to open her eyes and started walking, we realized that she had selective hearing.

Her vocabulary does not include the command, "Come." She has learned to understand the following words, though:

• Let's go
• TV
• Look
• Bath
• Where's the ball?
• Toy
• Get your toy
• Kitty
• All gone
• Are you OK?
• Go to the cage?
• Speak
• Wanna cookie?
• Play dead
• Stop, drop and roll
• Grandma's house
• Goodbye
• Go to bed?
• Doorbell sounds
• Telephone ringing noise
• Wanna go to bed?
• Mmmmm, that's good
• Go potty, go pee
• Grrr's at Osama bin Laden's name
• Edith Ann will finish the sentence...
  "Who Let The Dogs Out?"
