    He loves to make jokes and puns but these are spontaneous and hard to catch on video. He got me this morning--he was telling me something and then he said, "Don't say that." I said, "I didn't say that!" and he laughed and said, "You just did! You said, 'that'!"

    Cathy,
    the science video sounds great.
    As for the puns, just keep a runnning list of 'cute' verbalizations for a few weeks and throw it in.

    Anything that makes you laugh or scratch your head is likely to be a sigh of 'deviation from the norm' - humor is what catches us off gaurd.

    I happended to be looking through my stuff, and saw that my letter was a 'needs more info' as well. Back then it was a 5 minute phonecall.

    Smiles,
    Grinity

    I try to keep in mind that we have to do our best to distinguish our children not from ND children, but from MG children. Just GT behavior isn't enough.

    Also, try to show your child doing things 3+ years above age level if possible.

    I don't know if that helps, but it helped me to decide what to include as I was putting together our initial application. Now, whether it was enough to get our DS in or not...We'll see...
