Way to go Bobby!!! I agree at how much more intelligent these kids are
then anyone ever would believe. With Catie it seems to be her sense of
humor that shows us how smart she is. Gordon came in and rubbed her head
the other day. When he took his hand off she kept shaking her head and
laughing. He did it a few more times and she did the same thing each
time. So then he wanted to show someone and he said Look at what Catie
is doing now. So her rubbed her head..... no shaking. He rubbed it
again.... no shaking./ So he does it a third time..... she still
doesn't shake it. As a matter of fact all three times she just sat there
and looked at the tv like he wasn't even in the room. As soon as he gave
up and walked away , she looked at him, started shaking her head the way
he was trying to get her too, and then just busted up laughing at him.
When he tried to rub her head again she dodged him and laughed even
harder...
