My degree in Eliza Communications
So here's a good example of Eliza communicating. The girls were eating breakfast as I took Calvin into my room to give him breakfast and read a little of my book. Then Eliza came in wanting to play. I asked her if she finished her breakfast, of course she had not. So I asked her to go back in and finish - this is where it gets tricky. She made her slurp for drink sound and pointed at the ground. I wasn't really paying attention to her and what she said didn't make sense, so she repeated it again, "slurp, point to ground" then again "slurp, ground" and again until I started guessing. "your drink is on the floor?" no. "you want your drink on the floor?" no. "you spilled your drink" uh huuhhh she answered as if that fact was obvious 5 minutes ago. Awesome. So not only did I decipher her language, but I got to clean milk up off the floor.
